Hal an Tow........... (Traditional) Hal an Tow is based on a traditional Cornish May Day song (sung in Helston on the 8th May) with Hal and Tow possibly meaning ‘Hoist the Roof’. 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} Hal-an-tow Jolly-rum-ba-low We were up long before the day-o To welcome in the summer To welcome in the May-O For Summer is a coming in and Winter’s gone away-O Robin Hood and Little John Have both gone to the Fair-O and we will to the Merry Green-Wood to hunt the buck and hare-O What happened to the Spaniard That made so brave the boast-O That they would eat the feathered goose, And we would eat the roast-O The Lord and Lady bless you With all their power and might-O And bring their peace upon us Bring peace by day and night-O * sung by Damh The Bard, 2016
