On the Merry First of May

Lyrics

On the merry First of May Maidens wash their faces; Wash them in the dew they say On the merry First of May Once a year at break of day So, at least, in places On the merry First of May Maidens wash their faces On the merry First of May Maidens all, beware you Man is full of guile, they say On the merry First of May; Vain are all your arts today He it is will snare you On the merry First of May Maidens all, beware you!
