SPRING GLEE. English, Air and Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The first couple of stanzas of the song go:

When Spring comes on, the birds do sing,
The lambs do skip and the bells do ring,
While we enjoy their glorious charm,
So noble and so gay.

The primrose blooms and the cowslip, too.
The violets in their sweet retire,
The roses shining through the briar,
And the daffa-down dillys which we admire
Will die and fade away.[1]
