[01:10.520]	When in the springtime of the year
[01:14.480]	When the trees are crowned with leaves
[01:18.620]	When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
[01:22.670]	Are dressed in ribbons fair
[01:25.800]
[01:26.670]	When owls call the breathless moon
[01:30.500]	In the blue veil of the night
[01:34.670]	The shadows of the trees appear
[01:38.520]	Amidst the lantern light
[01:42.390]
[01:42.880]	We've been rambling all the night
[01:46.710]	And some time of this day
[01:50.890]	Now returning back again
[01:54.500]	We bring a garland gay
[01:59.80]
[02:14.790]	Who will go down to those shady groves
[02:18.620]	And summon the shadows there
[02:22.630]	And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
[02:26.290]	In the springtime of the year
[02:29.510]
[02:30.450]	The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
[02:34.160]	That when the fiddler plays
[02:38.500]	All their voices can be heard
[02:42.110]	Long past their woodland days
[02:45.700]
[02:46.680]	We've been rambling all the night
[02:50.520]	And some time of this day
[02:54.630]	Now returning back again
[02:58.230]	We bring a garland gay
[03:02.770]
[03:50.360]	And so they linked their hands and danced
[03:54.260]	Round in circles and in rows
[03:58.410]	And so the journey of the night descends
[04:02.190]	When all the shades are gone
[04:05.300]
[04:06.500]	"A garland gay we bring you here
[04:10.210]	And at your door we stand
[04:14.170]	It is a sprout well budded out
[04:18.279]	The work of our Lord's hand"
[04:21.209]
[04:22.290]	We've been rambling all the night
[04:26.90]	And some time of this day
[04:29.970]	Now returning back again
[04:33.650]	We bring a garland gay
[04:37.500]
[04:38.200]	We've been rambling all the night
[04:41.980]	And some time of this day
[04:45.960]	Now returning back again
[04:49.780]	We bring a garland gay
[04:57.680]

[01:10.520]	When in the springtime of the year
