Copied!

{Verse 1}
Take no scorn to wear the horn
It was the crest when you were born
Your father’s father wore it
Your father wore it, too

{Chorus}
Hal-an-tow
Jolly-rum-ba-low
We were up
Long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the May-O
For Summer is a coming in
And Winter’s gone away-O

{Verse 2}
Robin Hood and Little John
Have both gone to the Fair-O
And we will to the Merry Green-Wood
To hunt the buck and hare-O

{Verse 3}
What happened to the Spaniard
That made so bravе the boast-O
That they would eat thе feathered goose
And we would eat the roast-O

{Verse 4}
The Lord and Lady bless you
With all their power and might-O
And bring their peace upon us
Bring peace by day and night-O
