Down In Yon Forest

Traditional

[Verse 1]
Down in yon forest be a hall
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
'Tis coverlidded over with purple and pall
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 2]
Oh, in that hall is a pallet-bed
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
'Tis stained with blood like cardinal-red
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 3]
And at that pallet is a stone
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
On which the Virgin did atone
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 4]
Under that hall is a gushing flood
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
From Christ's own side, 'tis water and blood
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 5]
Beside that bed a shrub-tree grows
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
Since he was born it blooms and blows
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 6]
Oh, on that bed a young squire sleeps
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
His wounds are sick and sick he weeps
Sing all good men for the new-born baby

[Verse 7]
Oh, hail yon hall where none can sin
Sing May, Queen May, sing Mary
'Cause it's gold outside and silver within
Sing all good men for the new-born baby
