The first Three-mans Song.
O the month of Maie, the merrie month of Maie,
So frolicke, so gay, and so greene, so greene, so greene:
O and then did I, vnto my true loue say,
Sweete Peg, thou shalt be my Summers Queene.
So frolicke, so gay, and so greene, so greene, so greene:
O and then did I, vnto my true loue say,
Sweete Peg, thou shalt be my Summers Queene.
Now
the Nightingale, the prettie Nightingale,
The sweetest singer in all the Forrests quier:
Intreates thee sweete Peggie, to heare thy true loues tale,
Loe, yonder she sitteth, her breast against a brier.
The sweetest singer in all the Forrests quier:
Intreates thee sweete Peggie, to heare thy true loues tale,
Loe, yonder she sitteth, her breast against a brier.
But O I spie the Cuckoo, the Cuckoo, the Cuckoo,
See where she sitteth, come away my ioy:
Come away I prithee, I do not like the Cuckoo
Should sing where my Peggie and I kisse and toy.
See where she sitteth, come away my ioy:
Come away I prithee, I do not like the Cuckoo
Should sing where my Peggie and I kisse and toy.
O the month of Maie, the merrie month of Maie,
So frolike, so gay, and so greene, so greene, so greene:
And then did I, vnto my true loue say,
Sweete Peg, thou shalt be my Summers Queene.
So frolike, so gay, and so greene, so greene, so greene:
And then did I, vnto my true loue say,
Sweete Peg, thou shalt be my Summers Queene.
