Padstow - Steeleye Span

Unite and unite, and let us all unite

For summer is a-coming today

And whither we are going we all will unite

In the merry morning of May

The young men of Padstow, they might if they would

For summer is a-coming today

They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold

In the merry morning of May

The young women of Padstow, they might if they would

For summer is a-coming today

They might have built a garland with the white rose and the red

In the merry morning of May

Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green

For summer is a-coming today

You are as fine a lady as waits upon the queen

In the merry morning of May

Oh, where is King George?

Oh, where is he-O?

He’s out in his longboat, all on the salt sea-O

Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-O

Aunt Ursula Birdwood, she had an old ewe

And she died in her own park-O

With the merry ring and with the joyful spring

For summer is a-coming today

How happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall sing

In the merry morning of May

Oh, where are the young men that now do advance?

For summer is a-coming today

Oh, some they are in England and some they are in France

In the merry morning of May
