Padstow (the May Morning Song) Lyrics - Singles - Rankin Family

Unite and unite, oh let us all unite 

For summer is a'coming today 

And whither we are going, we all will unite 

In the merry month of May. 

Oh, where are the young men that now here should dance 

For summer is a'coming today 

Well some there are in England and some are in France 

In the merry month of May 

Oh, where are the maidens that now here should sing 

For summer is a'coming today 

They're all out in the meadows a flower gathering 

In the merry month of May 

The young men of Padstow they might if the would 

For summer is a'coming today 

They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold 

In the merry month of May 

Oh where is Saint George, oh where is he oh 

He's down in his longboat upon the salt sea oh 

Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-o 

And Ursula Birdwood, she had an old ewe 

And she died in her park-o 

With a merry ring and joyful spring 

For summer is a'coming today 

Oh happy are the little birds and merrily do they sing 

In the merry morning of May 

Unite and unite oh let us all unite 

For summer is a'coming today 

And whither we are going we all will unite 

In the merry month of May 

In the merry month of May
