May Day Carol Lyrics by Deems Taylor

0

The moon shines bright, the stars give a light
A little before 'tis day
Our Heav'nly Father he called to us
And bid us to wake and pray
Awake, awake o pretty, pretty maid
Out of your drowsy dream
And step into your dairy below
And fetch me a bowl of cream
If not a bowl of your sweet cream
A cup to give you cheer;
For the Lord knows where we shall meet again
To be maying another year
I been a rambling all this night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
I brought you a branch of May
A branch of May I brought you here
And at your door I stand
'Tis nothing but a sprout, but will budded out
By the work of our Lord's hand
My song is done, and I must be gone
No longer can I stay
So it's God bless you all, both great and small
And send you a joyful May
