Summer is coming, Oh, Summer is near. Plenty of seasonal songs to be polished up for May

Some songs to think about:

Autumn to May
(Paul Stookey & Peter Yarrow)
Oh, once I had a little dog, his colour it was brown,
I taught his how to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.

One morning, one morning, one morning in May

Oh soldier kind soldier will you marry me
Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be
I've a wife in London and children twice three
Two wives and the army's too many for me

[from James Taylor]

May morning dew

How pleasant in winter to sit by the hob
Listening to the sounds and the bark of a dog
Or in summer to wander the wide valleys through
And to pick the wild flowers in the May morning dew

Barbara Allen

Twas in the merry month of May

When green buds all were swelling

Sweet William on his death bed lay

For love of Barbara Allen.

Not forgetting, the Rocky Road to Dublin, Sliabh Gallion Braes, One morning in May, I carelessly did stray, The cuckoo and more.
