Unite and unite, and let us all unite
For summer is a-comin' today
And whither we are going we all will unite
In the merry morning of May

The young men of Padstow they might if they would / For summer...
They might have built a ship and gilded her with gold / In the merry...
The young maids of Padstow they might if they would / ...
They might have built a garland with the white roses and the red / ...
Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green / ...
You are as fine a lady as waits upon the Queen / ...
Oh where is St. George, oh where is he-o
He's out in the longboat, all on the salt sea-o
Up flies the kite, down falls the lark-o
Aunt Ursula Birdwood she has an old ewe
And she died in her own park-o

With the merry ring and with the joyful spring / ...
How happy are the little birds and the merrier we shall sing / ...
O where are the young man that now do advance / ...
Some they are in England and some they are in France / ...
