Rosebud in June - The Godley Singers

It's a rosebud in june and the violets in full bloom

And the small birds are singing love songs on each spray

We'll pipe and we'll sing love we'll dance in a ring love

When each lad takes his lass all on the green grass

And it's oh to plough where the fat oxen graze low

And the lads and the lasses do sheep shearing go

When we have all sheared our jolly jolly sheep

What joy can be greater than to talk of their increase

We'll pipe and we'll sing love we'll dance in a ring love

When each lad takes his lass all on the green grass

And it's oh to plough where the fat oxen graze low

And the lads and the lasses do sheep shearing go

Oh their flesh it is good it's the best of all food

And their wool it will cloth us and keep our backs from the cold

We'll pipe and we'll sing love we'll dance in a ring love

When each lad takes his lass all on the green grass

And it's oh to plough where the fat oxen graze low

And the lads and the lasses do sheep shearing go
