The May Day Carol chords by Jean Ritchie
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(C major) I've been a -wondering all the night,
and the best part of the day.
And when I turn back home again,
I will bring you a branch of May.
A branch of May
I will bring you, my love,
Here at your door I stand.
It's nothing but a sprout,
but it's well budded out
By the work of the (G major) Lord's (C major) own hand.
In my pocket I hold a purse
tied up with a silver string. (G major)
(C major) All that I like is a little silver
to line it well within.
My song is done, and I must be gone,
I can no longer stay.
God bless you all, both great and small,
and send you a joyful May.
