19 ME Duet (Jill and Raleigh) 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 19 Apr 2003

[Jill:] It is the merry month of May,
the bees do hum a roundelay,
and all the world, all the world
is sunny;
so let your brown thoughts hie away
and search the world for honey,
and search the world for honey!
[Raleigh:] Love it is a happy thing,
it cometh unto clown or king,
as anyone may see,
as anyone may see.
And of all places where it flies,
there is no place beneath the skies
more fair than where the bracken grows,
the honeysuckle, and the rose,
beneath the greenwood tree,
while bees do hum their roundelay.
'Tis there I'll dream that love some day
may even come to me!

[Jill:] That love may come to me!
[Both:] It is the merry month of May;
the bees do hum a roundelay,
and all the world,
all the world is sunny.
Oh! Love, Oh! Love
it is a happy thing,
it cometh unto clown or king,
unto clown or king.
Beneath, beneath the greenwood tree,
where bees do hum their roundelay.

[Both:] 'Tis there I'll dream
that Love may even come to me,
may even come to me,
that love may come to me.
'Tis there I'll dream
that love may come to me!
