Hal An Tow

Take no scorn to wear the horn
The crest when you were born-o
Your father`s father wore it
And your father wore it to-o

Hal an tow *clap*, jolly rumbalo *clap, clap*
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may-o
For summer is a comin in
And winter`s gone away-o

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

Hal an tow *clap*, jolly rumbalo *clap, clap*
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may-o
For summer is a comin in
And winter`s gone away-o

What happened to the Spaniards
Who made so great a boast-o
It`s they shall eat the feathered goose
And we shall eat the roast-o

Hal an tow *clap*, jolly rumbalo *clap, clap*
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may-o
For summer is a comin in
And winter`s gone away-o

And as for that good knight, St. George
A dragon he did fight-o
Of all the knights of Christendom
St. George he is the right-o

Hal an tow *clap*, jolly rumbalo *clap, clap*
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may-o
For summer is a comin in
And winter`s gone away-o

God bless Aunt Mary Moses
In all her power and might-o
May she send peace to England
Send peace by day and night-o

Hal an tow *clap*, jolly rumbalo *clap, clap*
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer
To welcome in the may-o
For summer is a comin in
And winter`s gone away-o
