Take the scorn to wear a horn, it was the crisp when you were born
Your father's father wore it and your father wore it too
Hal and Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-oh
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the May-oh
For summer is a coming in
And winter's gone away-oh
What happened to the Spaniards that made so great a boast-oh
Why they shall eat the feathered goose and we shall eat the roast-oh
Hal and Tow, jolly rumbelow...
Robin Hood and Little John have all come to the Fair-oh
And we will to the merry greenwood to hunt the buck and hare-oh
Hal and Tow, jolly rumbelow...
God bless St. Mary, Moses and all the poor and mite-oh
And send us peace to England, send Peace by day and night-oh
Hal and Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-oh
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the May-oh
For summer is a coming in
And winter's gone away-oh
