เพลง The Month of May

The Month of May (Bob & Ron) - The Copper Family

It was in the pleasant month

Of May in the springtime of the year

And down by yonder meadow

There runs a river clear

See how the little fishes

How they do sport and play

Causing many a lad and many a lass

To go there a-making hay

Then in comes the scytheman

That meadow to mow down

With his old leathered bottle

And the ale that runs so brown

There's many a stout and labouring man

Comes here his skill to try

He works he mows he sweats and blows

And the grass cuts very dry

Then in comes both Tom

And Dick with their pitch-forks and their rakes

And likewise black-eyed Susan

The hay all for to make

There's a sweet sweet sweet

And a jug jug jug

How the harmless birds did sing

From the morning till the evening

As we were a-haymaking

It was just at one evening as

The sun was a-going down

We saw the jolly piper

Come a-strolling through the town

There he pulled out his tapering pipes

And he made the valley ring

So we all put down our rakes and forks

And left off haymaking

We called for a dance

And we tripped it along

We danced all round the haycocks till

The rising of the sun

When the sun did shine such a glorious light

And the harmless birds did sing

Each lad he took his lass in hand

And went hack to his haymaking
