Today is the 1st of May!

Dear Folkies,


today is undeniably the first of May, and so the first summer's day:



Hail! Hail! The First of May Dave Webber

Winter time has gone and past-o,

Summer time has come at last-o.

We shall sing and dance the day

And follow the 'obby 'orse that brings the May.


Chorus (after each verse):

So, Hail! Hail! The First of May-o!

For it is the first summer’s day-o!

Cast you cares and fears away,

Drink to the old horse on the First of May!


Blue bells they have started to ring-o,

And true love, it is the thing-o.

Love on any other day

Is never quite the same as on the First of May!


Never let it come to pass-o

We should fail to raise a glass-o!

Unto those now gone away

And left us the 'obby 'orse that brings the May!


(repeat first verse)


There is a fair chance that this song might well be sung on this coming Friday evening if you would like to familiarise yourselves with it!
