Loading...

[verse 1]
of all the trees that grow so fair
old england to adorn
greater are none beneath the sun
than oak and ash and th*rn

[chorus]
sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we sing of no little thing
in oak and ash and th*rn

[verse 2]
oak of the clay lived many a day
or ever aeneas began
ash of the loam was a lady at home
when brut was an outlaw man
th*rn of the down saw new troy town
from which was london born
witness hereby the ancientry
of oak and ash and th*rn

[chorus]
sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we sing of no little thing
in oak and ash and th*rn
[verse 3]
yew that is old, in churchyard mould
she breedeth a mighty bow
alder for shoes do wise men choose
and beech for cups also
but when you havе k!lled, your bowl is spilled
your shoes arе clean outworn
back you must speed for all that you need
to oak and ash and th*rn

[chorus]
sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we sing of no little thing
in oak and ash and th*rn

[verse 4]
elm she hates mankind and waits
for every gust to be laid
to drop a limb on the head of him
who anyway trusts her shade
but whether a lad be sober or sad
or mellow with ale from the h*rn
he’ll take no wrong when he lieth along
‘neath oak and ash and th*rn
[chorus]
sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we sing of no little thing
in oak and ash and th*rn

[verse 5]
now do not tell the priest our plight
for he would call it a sin
but we’ve been out in the woods all night
a*conjuring summer in
and we bring good news by word of mouth
good news for cattle and corn
now as the sun come up from the south
‘neath oak and ash and th*rn

[chorus]
sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
surely we sing of no little thing
in oak and ash and th*rn

sing oak and ash and th*rn
all on a midsummer’s morn
england shall bide till judgement tide
by oak and ash and th*rn
