Branch of May

I’ve been a’wand’ring

all the night

And the best part

of the day

And when I come back home again,

I will bring you a branch of May.

A branch of May

my love, I say

as at your door I stand,

it’s nothing but a sprout

that’s well budded out,

by the work of the Lord’s own hand.

I’ll bring you a branch of May, to share,

I’ll bring you a branch of May,

and when I come back home again

I will bring you a branch of May.

My song is done

I must be gone

no longer can I stay

God bless you all

both great and small

and send you a joyful May.

I’ll bring you a branch of May, to share,

I’ll bring you a branch of May

and when I come back home again

I will bring you a branch of May.
