+//Unite and unite, now let us unite
+For summer is a-come in today
+And whither we are going, we all will unite
+In the merry Morning of May//

+For summer is a-comin' today
+They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold
+In the merry Morning of May
+[Chorus]
+The young maids of Padstow, they might if they would
+For summer is a-comin' today
+They might have made a garland with the white rose and the red
+In the merry Morning of May
+[Chorus]
+Oh, where are the young men who now here would dance
+For summer is a-comin' today?
+Oh some they are in England, and some they are in France
+In the merry Morning of May
+[Chorus]
+[//everyone kneel reverently//]
+Oh, where is Saint George?
+Oh where is he now?
+He's out in his long boat
+All along the salt seas-O.
+Up flies the kite,
+Down falls the lark-O
+Aunt Ursulla Birdhood, she had an old yowe
+And she died in her own park-O
+[//everyone stand//]
