Name: Lover and His Lass
Duration: P00H01M35S
Description: Another tune from New York Neo’s forthcoming As You Like It project. Melissa Lusk and I are composing the score in tandem. This may be the most uptempo song in the show right now, and it’s an awful lot of fun to play live. Look for the show this Fall in NYC.

lyrics

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o’er the green corn-field did pass
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, Hey ding a ding, ding:
Sweet lovers love the spring.

Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, Hey ding a ding, ding:
Sweet lovers love the spring.

This carol they began that hour,
How that a life was but a flower,

And therefore take the present time,
For love is crowned with the prime
