lyrics

One early May morning I chanced for to roam
And I strayed by the fields at the side of the grove
And it's there I did hear the harmless birds sing
And you never heard so sweet you never heard so sweet
You never heard so sweet as the birds in the spring

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

By the side of the grove I then sat myself down
And the sound of the nightingales echoed all around
And their songs were so charming their notes were so clear
No music no songster no music no songster
No music no songster with them can compare

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

All you who have come here the small birds to hear
You must pay attention so I pray all draw near
And it's when you're growing old you will have this to say
That you never heard so sweet you never heard so sweet
You never heard so sweet as the birds on the spray

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
