Take the scorn and wear the horns
It was the crest when you were born
Your father's father wore it
And your father wore it too
verse 2
Robin Hood and Little John
They've both gone to the fair-o
Well, we shall to the merry green wood
To hunt the buck and hare-o
Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-o
Well, to welcome in the summertime
To welcome in the May-o
Well, the summer is coming in
And winter's gone away
verse 3
What happened to the Spaniards
That made so great a boast-o?
Well, they shall eat the feathered goose
We shall eat the roast-o
Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-o
Well, to welcome in the summertime
To welcome in the May-o
Well, the summer is coming in
And winter's gone away
verse 4
God bless Aunt Mary Moses
With all her power and might-o
Well, send us peace in England
Send peace by day and night-o
Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-o
Well, to welcome in the summertime
To welcome in the May-o
Well, the summer is coming in
And winter's gone away
Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-o
Well, to welcome in the summertime
To welcome in the May-o
Well, the summer is coming in
And winter's gone away
