Steeleye Span - Padstow lyrics

Unite and unite, and let us all unite For summer is a-coming 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-coming 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-coming today They might have built a garland with the white rose and the red In the merry morning of May Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green For summer is a-coming today You are as fine a lady as waits upon the queen In the merry morning of May Oh, where is King George? Oh, where is he-O? He's out in his longboat, all on the salt sea-O Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-O Aunt Ursula Birdwood, she had an old ewe, And she died in her own park-O With the merry ring and with the joyful spring, For summer is a-coming today How happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall sing In the merry morning of May Oh, where are the young men that now do advance? For summer is a-coming today Oh, some they are in England and some they are in France In the merry morning of May
