Lyrics
(French folk tune, Lyrics by Homer H. Harbour, 1921)
Oh as I went down to Dover on a summer day
Oh as I went down to Dover on a summer day
All the air was sweet with clover,
Where the farmer boys were mowing in the hay
On a summer day.
All the air was sweet with clover on a summer day,
All the air was sweet with clover on a summer day,
And the sky was blue all over,
Not a single cloud was sailing,
Far away on a summer day.
Oh the sky was blue all over on a summer day,
Oh the sky was blue all over on a summer day,
And at last I came to Dover
Where the merry bells were ringing
Blithe and gay on a summer day.
