yew that is old, in churchyard mold, he breedeth a mighty bow

back you must speed for all that you need to oak, and ash, and th+rn

all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn

all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn

well elm, she hates mankind and waits, til every gust be laid
to drop a limb on the head of him that anyway trusts her shade
but whether a lad be sober or sad, or mellow with ale from the h+rn
he’ll take no wrong when he lieth along ‘neath oak, and ash, and th+rn
[chorus]
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn

oh, do not tell the priest our plight, for he would call it a sin
but we’ve been out in the woods all night, a+conjuring summer in
we bring you good news by word of mouth, good news for cattle and corn
sure as the sun come up from the south, by oak, and ash, and th+rn
[chorus]
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn
sing oak, and ash, and th+rn, good sirs
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we’ll sing of no little thing
in oak, and ash, and th+rn
