King Of May Lyrics

Farewell today, travel on now
Be on your way, go safely there
And never worry, never care
Beyond this day

Farewell tonight
To all joy and to all your life
Go on, go peacefully
We can't keep your majesty, be on your way

Make credit for the last King of May
Make a cardboard crown for him
And make your voices one
Praise a crazy mother's son who loved his life

Farewell today, travel on now, be on your way
Can't bear the very thought that we
That we could keep your majesty
Be on your way

Make credit for the last King of May
Make a hole in the crowd for him
Raise your voices up, drink your loving cup
To his long life, to his long life, ooh

Make credit for the last King of May
Make a hole in the sky for him
And raise your voices up, lift your loving cup
To his long life, his long life

And raise your voices up, lift your loving cup
To his long life, to his long life
His long life, his long life, to his long life
