Wintertime is gone and past-o 
Summertime has come at last-o 
We will dance and sing the day 
And drink to the 'obby 'orse to bring the May 

**Chorus:** 
//Hail, hail, the first of May-o 
For it is the first summer's day-o 
Cast your cares and fears away 
Drink to the old horse on the first of May //

Now bluebells they have started to ring-o 
And true love, it is the thing-o 
Love on any other day 
Is never the same as on the first of May 

[Chorus]

Now never let it come to pass-o 
We should fail to raise a glass-o 
Unto those now gone away 
And left us the 'obby 'orse to bring the May 

[Chorus]

Now Wintertime is gone and past-o 
Summertime has come at last-o 
We will dance and sing the day 
And drink to the 'obby 'orse to bring the May 

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
