## The words

There’s tender green on the tree,  
The birds are in finest feather,  
And lovers in ecstasy Go wandering forth  
together.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! How the merry days go In  
the first of the summer weather.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! How the merry days go In  
the first of the summer weather.  
The bird must capture his mate, By sweet  
compulsion driven, And Colin will steal from  
Kate will stealthe kisses for which he’s  
striven.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! But the rogue must know,  
How quickly he'll beforgiven.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! But the rogue must know,  
How quickly he’ll be forgiven.  
Then seize the prime o’ the time,  
That your fruit be rich and mellow;  
And warble your love in rhyme, Ere the leaf be  
sere and yellow,  
That your fruit be rich and mellow;  
warble your love in rhyme, Ere the leaf be sere  
and yellow.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! ’Tis a world of woe,  
Till ev’ry one find his fellow.  
Sing heigh! sing ho! ’Tis a world of woe,  
Till every one find his fellow.
