May Day

Happy May Day! May Day is a delightful festival welcoming in the summertime. Traditions include making flower crowns, making cone-shaped paper baskets to fill with flowers and secretly leave on neighbors' doorsteps, and gathering to dance the maypole.
Here are the lyrics to the songs in the video:
1 -
Here we go round the Maypole high, The Maypole high, The Maypole high, Here we go round the Maypole high, Let colored ribbons fly, Let colored ribbons fly.
See lasses and lads go tripping by, Go tripping by, Go tripping by, See lasses and lads go tripping by, Let colored ribbons fly, Let colored ribbons fly.
In rainbow hues make garlands gay, Make garlands gay, Make garlands gay, In rainbow hues make garlands gay, Let colored ribbons fly, Let colored ribbons fly.
2-
Here’s a branch of snowy May, a branch the fairies gave me.
Would you like to come and dance with the branch the fairies gave me?
Dance away, dance away,
holding high the brand of May.
3-
Hal-an-tow
clap Jolly-rum-ba-low clap We were up -clap Long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer To welcome in the May-o Summer is a comin' in And winter's gone away-o
Take no scorn to wear the horn It was the crest when you were born Your father's father wore it Your father wore it, too
{Chorus}
Robin Hood and Little John Have both gone to the Fair-O And we will to the Merry Green To hunt the buck and hare-O
{Chorus}
We have brought the budding branch To bless each hearth and bed-O For none should lie alone today But to the woods, instead-O!
{Chorus}
Bless the Lord and Lady And all who dwell in here-O And bless the little children born And turning of the year-O
