The Watersons sing Hal-an-Tow
Since man was first created
His works have been debated
We have celebrated
The coming of the Spring
Chorus (after each verse):
Hal-an-tow, jolly rumbalow
We were up long before the day-O
To welcome in the summer,
To welcome in the May-O
The summer is a-coming in
And winter's gone away-O
Take no scorn to wear the horn
It was the crest when you was born
Your father's father wore it
And your father wore it too
God bless Aunt Mary Moyses
And all her power and might-O
And send us peace to England
Send peace by day and night-O
What happened to the Spaniards
That made so great a boast-O?
Why they shall eat the feathered goose
And we shall eat the roast-O
Robin Hood and Little John
Have both gone to the fair-O
And we will to the merry green wood
To hunt the buck and hare-O
