The red and the green

4/4 lively


G                            Bm
Shake a leaf for spring has come

             C                D
Just as she has before

C                                D
Smoke and pollen fill the air

                                    G
It’s the time of the balladeer

           C                     D

The saucy borage winks at us

                 G                            C
The hawthorn blossom’s here

                         D
The sun is a teasing friend

                                        G
At this time of  the year

 

Shall we follow, yes we shall

Behind the May Queen fair

We shall make a diadem

And place it in her hair

Policemen go the extra mile
And even prison wardens smile
It's not a time to swear or cuss
But to be of good cheer
