It Was A Lover And His Lass

It was a lover and his lad
With a hey, with a ho, with a hey
Nonny no and a hey
Nonny nonny no
That o'er the green cornfields did pass
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
This carol they began that are
With a hey, with a ho, with a hey
Nonny no and a hey
Nonny nonny 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
Then pretty lovers take the time
With a hey, with a ho, with a hey
Nonny no and a hey
Nonny nonny no
For love is crowned 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 ling a ling
When lovers love the spring
