Tony Rose - Following The Old 'Oss lyrics

Here's adieu to winter's wailing. From now on it's plain sailing: For the summer is a coming today As we welcome the first of May. And we're following the old 'oss through the town And we're following the old 'oss Padstow round, All on a bright May morning, All on the first of May. And we'll rise in the morning early And remember Merv and Charlie, By the Golden Lion we'll stand and greet The old 'oss onto the street. And we're following the old 'oss through the town And we're following the old 'oss Padstow round, All on a bright May morning, All on the first of May. And there'll be no cries or cribbin' We'll not wear the blue ribbon. It's the Old Red Horse and a crate of beer That brings us our good cheer. And we're following the old 'oss through the town And we're following the old 'oss Padstow round, All on a bright May morning, All on the first of May. And we'll sing from noon till nighttime And for one song it's the right time. Only in Padstow will you hear The day song loud and clear. And we're following the old 'oss through the town And we're following the old 'oss Padstow round, All on a bright May morning, All on the first of May. So good men, don't ignore us, Join in a May Day chorus; Dance with the old 'oss, it's no sin To watch the summer come in. And we're following the old 'oss through the town And we're following the old 'oss Padstow round, All on a bright May morning, All on the first of May.
