It Was a Lover and His Lass

It Was A Lover and His Lass - Original - 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 hey hey nonni nonni no

How that life was but a flower

In springtime in springtime

In springtime the only pretty ring time

When 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
