Lyrics: William Shakespeare

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green cornfield did pass
In the spring time,
The pretty ring time,
When birds do sing,
Hey ring a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.

And therefore take the present time,
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonino,
For love is crowned with the prime
In the spring time,
The pretty ring time,
When birds do sing,
Hey ring a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.
