It Was A Lover And His Lass Lyrics

It Was A Lover And His Lass - Cleo Laine

It was a lover and his lass

 

With a hey and ho and a hey nonino

 

That over the green cornfields did pass

 

In the springtime this springtime

 

The only pretty ring time

When birds do sing hey ding a ding a 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

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

 

And therefore take the present time

With a hey a ho a hey nonino

For love is crowned with the prime

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

 

Sweet lovers love the spring

Sweet lovers love the spring

 

 

Sweet lovers love the spring
