Padstow

Chorus:
Unite and unite, oh let us all unite
For summer is a-comin' today
And whither we are going, we all will unite
In the merry morning of May
The young men of Padstow, they might if they would
For summer is a-comin' today
They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold
In the merry morning of May
The young women of Padstow, they might if they would
For summer is a-comin' today
They might have raised a garland with the white rose and the red
In the merry morning of May
Chorus
Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green
For summer is a-comin' today
You are as fine a lady as awaits upon the green
In the merry morning of May
Where are the young maids who now here should sing
For summer is a-comin' today
They're all out in the meadow, a-flower-gathering
In the merry morning of May
Chorus
Arise all you Pagans with all the joy you bring
For summer is a-comin' today
And bring to us a mug of beer, the merrier we shall sing
In the merry morning of May
Chorus
