《The Month of May》歌词

[00:00:00] The Month of May - Bob Cooper/Ron Copper

[00:00:01] It was in the pleasant month

[00:00:03] Of May in the springtime of the year

[00:00:06] And down by yonder meadow

[00:00:09] There runs a river clear

[00:00:12] See how the little fishes

[00:00:15] How they do sport and play

[00:00:18] Causing many a lad and many a lass

[00:00:20] To go there a-making hay

[00:00:24] Then in comes the scytheman

[00:00:27] That meadow to mow down

[00:00:30] With his old leathered bottle

[00:00:32] And the ale that runs so brown

[00:00:35] There's many a stout and labouring man

[00:00:38] Comes here his skill to try

[00:00:41] He works he mows he sweats and blows

[00:00:44] And the grass cuts very dry

[00:00:48] Then in comes both Tom

[00:00:50] And Dick with their pitch-forks and their rakes

[00:00:53] And likewise black-eyed Susan

[00:00:56] The hay all for to make

[00:00:59] There's a sweet sweet sweet

[00:01:00] And a jug jug jug

[00:01:02] How the harmless birds did sing

[00:01:05] From the morning till the evening

[00:01:08] As we were a-haymaking

[00:01:11] It was just at one evening as

[00:01:14] The sun was a-going down

[00:01:17] We saw the jolly piper

[00:01:19] Come a-strolling through the town

[00:01:22] There he pulled out his tapering pipes

[00:01:25] And he made the valley ring

[00:01:28] So we all put down our rakes and forks

[00:01:31] And left off haymaking

[00:01:35] We called for a dance

[00:01:37] And we tripped it along

[00:01:40] We danced all round the haycocks till

[00:01:43] The rising of the sun

[00:01:45] When the sun did shine such a glorious light

[00:01:48] And the harmless birds did sing

[00:01:51] Each lad he took his lass in hand

[00:01:54] And went hack to his haymaking
