The Copper Family: When Spring Comes in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aORKa07fubY
When Spring comes on then the birds do sing, The lambs do skip and the bells do ring While we enjoy their glorious charm so noble and so gay. Chorus: The primrose blooms, the cowslips too, The violets in their sweet retire, the roses shining through the briar, And the daffodown-dillies which we admire will die and fade away. Young men and maidens they will be seen On mountains high and meadows green, They will talk of love and sport and play While them young lambs do skip away. At night they homeward wend their way When evening stars appear. The dairymaid to milking goes, her blooming cheeks as red as a rose, And she carries her pail all on her arm so cheerful and so gay, She milks, she sings, and the valleys ring. The small birds on the branches there sit listening to this lovely fair For she is her master’s trust and care, she is the ploughman’s joy.
