Hal an tow, Jolly rumble-Oh

We were up, Long before the day - Oh

To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May - Oh

The summer is a comin' in and winter's gone away - Oh

Take no scorn to wear the horn, it was a crest when you were born,

Your father's father wore it and your father wore it too

Hal an tow, Jolly rumble-Oh

We were up, Long before the day - Oh

To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May - Oh

The summer is a comin' in and winter's gone away - Oh

Robin Hood and Little John have both gone to the barrow,

And we shall to the merry greenwood to hunt the buck and sparrow

Hal an tow, Jolly rumble-Oh

We were up, Long before the day - Oh

To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May - Oh

The summer is a comin' in and winter's gone away - Oh

What happened to the Spaniards, that made so great a boast, Oh

They shall eat the feathered goose and we shall eat the roast - Oh

Hal an tow, Jolly rumble-Oh

We were up, Long before the day - Oh

To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May - Oh

The summer is a comin' in and winter's gone away - Oh

The Lord and Lady bless you, with all their power and might - Oh

And bring peace to the country, bring peace by day and night - Oh

Hal an tow, Jolly rumble-Oh

We were up, Long before the day - Oh

To welcome in the summer, To welcome in the May - Oh

The summer is a comin' in and winter's gone away - Oh
