Chorus: Hail, hail, the first of May-o For it is the first summer's day-o Cast your cares and fears away Drink to the old horse on the first of May
Now bluebells they have started to ring-o And true love, it is the thing-o Love on any other day Is never the same as on the first of May
[Chorus]
Now 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 to bring the May
Now Wintertime is gone and past-o Summertime has come at last-o We will dance and sing the day And drink to the 'obby 'orse to bring the May
