Now is the Month of May

 

Nice and simple, and everyone can join in the fa-la-la's once they've heard it once.

Thomas Morley, 1595 - Quite late

Now is the Month of May



Now is the month of maying
When merry lads are playing
(fa la la la….)

Each with his bonny lass
A dancing on the grass
(fa la la la….)

The spring clad all in gladness
Doth laugh at Winter's sadness
(fa la la la….)

And to the bagpeep sound
The nymphs tread out their ground
(fa la la la….)

Fie then why? Sit we musin
Youths sweet delight refusin
(fa la la la….)

Say dainty nymphs and spake
Shall we play barley break
(fa la la la….)
