King Of May lyrics

[Verse 1]
Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way
Go safely there
And never worry
Never care
Beyond this day

[Verse 2]
Farewell tonight
To all joy and to all delight
Go well and go peacefully
We can't keep your majesty
Be on your way

[Chorus]
Make ready for the last King of May
Make a cardboard crown for him
And make your voices one
Praise a crazy mother's son who loved his life

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Make ready for the last King of May
Make a hole in the crowd for him
Raise your voices up
Drink your loving cup to his long life
To his long life

[Chorus]
Make ready for the last King of May
Make a hole in the sky for him
And raise your voices up
Lift your loving cup to his long life
His long life

[Outro]
And raise your voices up
Lift your loving cup to his long life
To his long life
His long life
His long life
To his long life
