It Was A Lover And His Lass - Maxine Sullivan

It was a lover and his lass

With a hey with a ho with a hey nonni no

And a hey nonni nonni no

That o'er the green cornfields did pass

In springtime, in springtime

In springtime, the only pretty ring time

When the birds do sing

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

Sweet lovers love the spring

This carol they began that hour,

With a hey, with a ho, with a hey nonino,

And a hey nonni nonni no

How that life was but a flower

In springtime, in springtime

In springtime, the only pretty ring time

When the birds do sing

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

Sweet lovers love the spring

And, pretty lovers take the time

With a hey with a ho with a hey nonni no

And a hey nonni nonni no

For love is crownd with the prime

In springtime, in springtime

In springtime, the only pretty ring time

Birds do sing

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

Hey ding a ding a ding

When lovers love the spring

Goodnight
