-It was a lover and his lass,
-With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
-That o'er the green corn-field did pass,
-In 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 that life was but a flower.
-In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
-When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
-Sweet lovers love the spring!}}
