Down in Yon Forest
Down in yon forest be a hall
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
'Tis covered over with purple and pall
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Oh in the hall's a pallet bed
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
'Tis stained with blood like cardinal red
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
And at the pallet is a stone
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
On which the Virgin did atone
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!¬
Under that hall is a gushing flood
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
From Christ's own side, 'is water and blood
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Beside that bed a shrub tree grows
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
Since he was born it blooms and blows
All good men for the new-born Baby!
And on that bed a young one sleeps
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
His wounds are sick, and see, he weeps
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Oh hail you hail where none can sin
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
Cause it's gold outside and silver within
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
'Tis covered over with purple and pall
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Oh in the hall's a pallet bed
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
'Tis stained with blood like cardinal red
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
And at the pallet is a stone
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
On which the Virgin did atone
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!¬
Under that hall is a gushing flood
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
From Christ's own side, 'is water and blood
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Beside that bed a shrub tree grows
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
Since he was born it blooms and blows
All good men for the new-born Baby!
And on that bed a young one sleeps
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
His wounds are sick, and see, he weeps
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
Oh hail you hail where none can sin
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary!
Cause it's gold outside and silver within
Sing all good men for the new-born Baby!
