Down In Yon Forest
Lyricist：English Traditional
Down in yon forest be a hall
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
'Tis coverleted over with purple and pall
Sing all good men for the new born baby
Oh, in that hall is a pallet bed
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
'Tis stained with blood like cardinal red
Sing all good men for the new born baby
And at that pallet is a stone
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
On which the virgin did atone
Sing all good men for the new born baby
Under that hall is a gushing flood
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary

From Christ's own side, 'tis water and blood
Sing all good men for the new born baby
Beside that bed a shrub tree grows
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
Since he was born, it blooms and blows
Sing all good men for the new born baby
Oh, on that bed a young squire sleeps
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
His wounds are sick and sick, he weeps
Sing all good men for the new born baby
Oh, hail yon hall where none can sin
Sing May, Queen May sing Mary
'Cause it's gold outside and silver within
Sing all good men for the new born baby
