| 1 | 1 | Now the winter is gone and the summer is come | |
| 2 | 2 | And the meadows look pleasant and gay | |
| 3 | 3 | I | I met a young damsel so sweetly sang she |
| 4 | 4 | And her cheeks like the blossoms of May | |
| 5 | |||
| 6 | Said I: Pretty maiden and how came you here | ||
| 7 | In the meadows this morning so soon? | ||
| 8 | The maid she replied: For to gather some may, | ||
| 9 | For the trees thay are all in full bloom. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Said I: Pretty maiden shall I go with you | ||
| 12 | To the meadows to gather some may? | ||
| 13 | O no, sir, she said, I would rather refuse, | ||
| 14 | For I fear you would lead me astray. | ||
| 15 | 5 | ||
| 16 | 6 | I says: Fair maiden, how came you here | |
| 17 | 7 | In the meadows this morning so soon? | |
| 18 | 8 | The maid she replied: For to gather some may | |
| 19 | 9 | For the trees they are all in full bloom. | |
| 20 | 10 | ||
| 21 | 11 | I says: Fair maiden, shall I go with you | |
| 22 | 12 | To the meadows | To the meadows to gather some may? |
| 23 | 13 | O the maid she replied: O I must be excused | |
| 24 | 14 | For I’m afeared you will lead me astray. | |
| 25 | 15 | ||
| 26 | 16 | Then | Then I took this fair maid by her lily-white hand |
| 27 | 17 | On the green mossy banks we sat down | |
| 28 | 18 | And I placed a kiss on her sweet rosy lips | |
| 19 | And the small birds were singing all round. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | When we arose from the green mossy banks | ||
| 22 | To the meadows we wandered away; | ||
| 23 | I placed my love on a primrosy bank | ||
| 24 | And I plucked her a handful of may. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | When I returned she gave me a smile | ||
| 27 | And thanked me for what I had done. | ||
| 28 | I placed a sprig on her snowy-white breast | ||
| 29 | And believe me there’s never a thorn. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Then early next morning I made her my bride | ||
| 32 | That the world should have nothing to say. | ||
| 33 | The bells they did ring and the bridesmaids did sing | ||
| 29 | 34 | And I crowned her the sweet Queen of May. | And I crowned her the sweet Queen of May. |
