King Of May Lyrics

Farewell today

 Travel on now

 Be on your way 

 

 Go safely there

 Never worry

 Never care

 Beyond this day 

 

 Farewell tonight

 To all joy and to all delight

 Go well and go peacefully

 We can't keep your majesty

 Be on your way 

 

 Make ready for the last King of May

 Make a cardboard crown for him

 Make your voices one

 Praise a crazy mother's son

 Who loved his life

 Who loved his life 

 

 Farewell today

 Travel on now

 Be on your way

 Can't bear the very thought 

 That we could keep your majesty

 Be on your way 

 

 Make ready for the last King of May

 Make a hole in the crowd for him

 Raise your voices up

 Lift your loving cups

 To his long life

 To his long life 

 

 Make ready for the last King of May

 Make a hole in the sky for him

 Raise your voices up

 Drink your loving cups

 To his long life

 To his long life
