Lyrics
(German folk song, adapted B. Thompson, Lyrics by Richard Compton, publ. 1921)
1. In May, in May,
In merry, merry May,
How warm and happy we will be,
Sing ho for lovely May!
2. In May, in May,
All out of doors to play,
When all the trees are turning green,
In lovely, lovely May!
Recorder Notes D, G, A, B, C
