Jake has gone to wear the horn
It was the crest when you were born
Your father's father wore it then
His father wore it too.
(Chorus)
Jolly lum-alow
We were up long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer, to welcome in the May-o
For Summer is a-comin 'in
And winter's gone away-o
Robin Hood and Little John
Have both come to Faire-o
And we will to the merry greenwood
To hunt the buck and hare-o.
(Chorus)
What happened to the Spaniards
That made so great a boast-o?
O' they shall eat the feathered goose
And we shall eat the roast-o.
(Chorus)
God bless our Gloriana
God send her power and might-o
O' God send good peace to En-ga-land,
Send peace by day and night-o.
(Chorus)
