Hal-an-Tow
Take the scorn and wear the horns
It was the crest when you were born
Your father's father wore it
And your father wore it too
Robin Hood and Little John
They've both gone to the fair-o
Well, we shall to the merry green wood
To hunt the buck and hare-o
CHORUS
Hal-an-Tow, jolly rumbelow
We were up long before the day-o
Well, to welcome in the summertime
To welcome in the May-o
Well, the summer is coming in
And winter's gone away
What happened to the Spaniards
That made so great a boast-o?
Well, they shall eat the feathered goose
We shall eat the roast-o
CHORUS
God bless Aunt Mary Moses
With all her power and might-o
Well, send us peace in England
Send peace by day and night-o
CHORUS x2
