verse 1 Take the scorn and wear the horns It was the crest when you were born Your father's father wore it And your father wore it too verse 2 Robin Hood and Little John They've both gone to the fair-o Well, we shall to the merry green wood To hunt the buck and hare-o Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow We were up long before the day-o Well, to welcome in the summertime To welcome in the May-o Well, the summer is coming in And winter's gone away verse 3 What happened to the Spaniards That made so great a boast-o? Well, they shall eat the feathered goose We shall eat the roast-o Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow We were up long before the day-o Well, to welcome in the summertime To welcome in the May-o Well, the summer is coming in And winter's gone away verse 4 God bless Aunt Mary Moses With all her power and might-o Well, send us peace in England Send peace by day and night-o Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow We were up long before the day-o Well, to welcome in the summertime To welcome in the May-o Well, the summer is coming in And winter's gone away Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow We were up long before the day-o Well, to welcome in the summertime To welcome in the May-o Well, the summer is coming in And winter's gone away
