The Wolfe Tones
The First of May (2011 version)
When were small and Christmas trees were tall
We used to laugh while others used to play
Don't ask me why the time has passed me by;
Someone else moved in from away
[Chorus]
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
For you and I, our love will never ever die
And guess who'll cry, come First of May?
The apple tree that grew for you and me:
I watched the apples, falling one by one
And I rеcall the moment of them all
Thе day I kissed your cheeks and you were gone
[Chorus]
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
For you and I, our love will never ever die
And guess who'll cry, come First of May?
[Chorus]
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
And you don't ask the time of day
For you and I, our love will never ever die
And guess who'll cry, come First of May
And guess who'll cry, come First of May
