Of all the trees that grow so fair,
G C
old England to adorn,
F/C
greater are none beneath the sun,
G Am
than Oak and Ash and Thorn.

Am
Sing Oak and Ash and Thorn good sirs,
G C
All of a midsummers morn,
F/C
Surely we'd sing of no little thing,
G Am
in Oak and Ash and Thorn.

Oak of the Clay lived many a day,
G C
or ever aeneas began,

[Verse 3]
Am
Yew that is old in churchyard-mould,
G C
He breedeth a mighty bow,
F/C
Alder for shoes do wise men choose,
G Am
and Beech for cups also,
Am
but when ye have killed and your bowl is spilled,
G C
your shoes are clean outworn,
F/C
back ye must speed for all that ye need,
G Am
to Oak and Ash and Thorn.

G C
All of a midsummers morn,

in Oak and Ash and Thorn.
[Verse 4]
Am
Elm she hates mankind and waits,
G C
for every gust be laid,
F/C
to drop a limb on the head of him,
G Am
that anyway trusts her shade,
Am
but whether a lad be sober or sad,
G C
or mellow with ale from the horn,
F/C
he'll take no wrong when he lieth along,
G Am
'neath Oak and Ash and Thorn
[Chorus]
Am
Sing Oak and Ash and Thorn good sirs,
G C
All of a midsummers morn,
F/C
Surely we'd sing of no little thing,
G Am
in Oak and Ash and Thorn.
[Verse 5]
Am
Oh do not tell the preist our plight,
G C
for he would call it a sin,
F/C
but we've been out in the woods all night,
G Am
a-conjuring summer in,
Am
and we bring good news by word of mouth,
G C
good news for cattle and corn,
F/C
sure will the sun come up from the south,
G Am
by Oak and Ash and Thorn.
[Chorus]
Am
Sing Oak and Ash and Thorn good sirs,
G C
All of a midsummers morn,

Surely we'd sing of no little thing,
G Am
in Oak and Ash and Thorn.

Sing Oak and Ash and Thorn good sirs,
G C
All of a midsummers morn,
F/C
England shall bide 'til judgement tide,
G Am
by Oak and Ash and Thorn.
