Padstow Lyrics

Chorus:
Unite and unite, oh let us all unite
For summer is a-comin' today
And whither we are going, we all will unite
In the merry morning of May
The young men of Padstow, they might if they would
For summer is a-comin' today
They might have built a ship and gilded it with gold
In the merry morning of May
The young women of Padstow, they might if they would
For summer is a-comin' today
They might have raised a garland with the white rose and the red
In the merry morning of May
Chorus
Rise up, Mrs. Johnson, all in your gown of green
For summer is a-comin' today
You are as fine a lady as awaits upon the green
In the merry morning of May
Where are the young maids who now here should sing
For summer is a-comin' today
They're all out in the meadow, a-flower-gathering
In the merry morning of May
Chorus
Arise all you Pagans with all the joy you bring
For summer is a-comin' today
And bring to us a mug of beer, the merrier we shall sing
In the merry morning of May
Chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
