Musician's or Publisher's Notes
It was a lover and his lass
William Shakespeare
It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino
That o'er the green corn-field did pass.
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding a ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie,
This carol they began that hour,
How that a life was but a flower
And therefore take the present time
For love is crownéd with the prime
