OMG. I never realized this song existed even though I love Miss Ella. As children we celebrated May Day and we'd sing this song (or one awfully similar) to celebrate the day. I don't believe any of us knew why we were celebrating the holiday; we just liked the colorful paper hanging from the poles and making May Day baskets in school for our moms. Miss Ella... #1 in her genre. I would have sold my soul to hear that woman sing!
