Following the Old Oss

Here's adieu to winter's wailing

From now on it's plain sailing

Summer is a coming today

As we welcome the first of May

Chorus

And we're following the Old Oss through the town

And we're following the Old Oss Padstowe round

All on a bright May morning

All on the first of May

And we rise in the morning early

And remember mum and Charlie

By the Old Grey Lion, we'll stand and greet

The Old Oss onto the street

Chorus

And there'll be no cries no cribbing

We'll not wear blue ribbon

It's the Old Red Oss and a crate of beer

That brings us our good cheer

Chorus

And we'll sing from morn 'til night time

For our song, it's the right time

Only in Padstowe will you hear

The day song loud and clear

Chorus

So good friends don't ignore us

Join in the May day chorus

Dance with teh Old Oss, it's no Sin

To sing the summer in

Chorus
