It Was a Lover and His Lass


Melody - Melody

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green corn-field did pass
Chorus:

In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding:
Sweet lovers love the spring.

2. Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folk would lie,
Chorus:

3. This carol they began that hour,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
How that a life was but a flower
Chorus:

4. And therefore take the present time,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
For love is crowned with the prime
Chorus:
