From The Essex harmony, vol 2 p130, 1777.

listen to the tune (midi file)

Come let us all a Maying go

 Come let us all a Maying go,
 And lightly, and lightly trip it to and fro;
 The bells shall ring,
 and the cuckow, the cuckow,
 the cuckow, the cuckow, the cuckow sing,
 The drums shall beat, the fife shall play,
 And so we'll spend our time away.
