The Padstow Night Song

Unite, unite, let us all unite,
For Summer is a-come unto day
And whither we are going we will all unite
On the merry morning of May.

The young men of Padstow, they might if they would,
For Summer is a-come unto day.
They might have built a ship and gilded her with gold,
On the merry morning of May.

The maidens of Padstow, they might if they would,
For Summer is a-come unto day.
They might have made a garland of the white rose and the red
On the merry morning of May.

Up Merry Spring, and up the merry ring,
For Summer is a-come unto day!
How happy are those little birds that merrily do sing
On the merry morning of May!
