Maypole Dance

Lyrics

Maypole Dance

Springtime in merry England
Dust down your pole of Oak
With coloured ribbons and garlands
Go do the Maypole dance

Plant your sturdy pole
Upon the village green
Practice your Morris tunes and steps
Make ready for the Maypole dance

Boy, girl, boy, girl
Hold those ribbons tight
Under and over, under and over
Weave those coloured patterns bright
Doing the Maypole dance

Maybe it’s a pagan thing?
Maybe the simple joy at Spring?
With coloured ribbons and garlands
Go do the Maypole dance
