When Lights Go Rolling Round The Sky 1911

When lights go rolling round the sky,
Then up my heart, then ope mine eye,
With Molly and Polly
And John so jolly
Always, say, we,
with melancholy, HeighHo
and heighho, for me,
for me's no melancholy.

First rolls the sun in rosy morn,
And wheels away what e'er's forlorn,
Then look I to my Molly,
and, certes, John to Polly
To each the girl,
the love, the wife,
A rosy morn of rosy life:
And so, and so, O Ho, O Ho,
When lights go rolling round the sky,
Then up my heart then ope mine eye,
With Molly and Polly
And John so jolly
Away, say we, with melancholy,
HeighHo and heighho,
for me, for me's no melancholy.

When moves the early moon a west,
We say the vesper time is best;
And then lead I my Molly,
And cometh John with Polly
to sweet sequester'd willow shade,
for such dear girls and lovers made:
And so, and so, O Ho, O Ho,
When lights go rolling round the sky
Then up my heart,
then ope mine eye,
With Molly and Polly
And John so jolly
Away, say we, with melancholy,
HeighHo and HeighHo,
For me, for me's no melancholy. .
