It Was A Lover And His Lass Lyrics
It Was A Lover And His Lass - Al Bowlly/Jimmy Mesene
It wa a lover and his lass
With a hey and ho and a hey nonino
That over the green cornfields did pass
In springtime this springtime
The only pretty ring time
When birds do sing hey ding a ding a ding
Sweet lovers love the spring
Between the acres of the rye
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonino
These pretty country folk would lie
In the spring time the spring time
The only pretty ring time
When birds do sing hey ding a ding ding
Sweet lovers love the spring
This carol they began that hour
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonino
How the a life was but a flower
In the spring time the spring time
The only pretty ring time
When birds do sing hey ding a ding ding
Ding a ding a ding a
Sweet lovers love the spring
And therefore take the present time
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonino
For love is crowned with the prime
In the spring time the spring time
The only pretty ring time
When the do sing hey ding a ding ding
A ding a ding ding
Oh sweet lovers love the spring
(Sweet lovers love the spring)
