Cornish May Carol   'Oss, 'Oss, Wee 'Oss

Melody -

Unite and unite and let us all unite
For summer is a-come unto day
And wither we are going, we will all unite
In the merry morning of May

With a merry ring and
Now the joyful spring
O give us a cup of ale
And the merrier we will sing

The young men of Padstow,
They might if they would
They might have built a ship
And gilded it all in gold

The young women of Padstow,
They might if they would
They might have built a garland
Of the white rose and the red
Where are those young men
That now here should dance?
For some they are in England
And some they are in France

O where is St. George?
O where is he o ?
He's out in his longboat
All on the salt sea-o
Up flies the kite
Down falls the lark-o
And Ursula Birdhood
She had an old ewe
And she died in her own park-o

With a merry ring
And now the joyful spring
So happy are those little birds
And the merrier we will sing
