Over the green field and down to the hay
Lift up your hearts and dance round the maypole
Run to your true love and dance all the day
2nd verse

And gaze on out to the stars
When there's a shadow chasing you
3rd verse
This young girl threw her cares into the well

No more dancing on the green
Since I've found another scene
Chorus
La la la la la la la .....
