Drawing Near to the Merry Month of May

(The Copper Family)



Rise up the members of this house

Together come as we

For the summer springs so fresh and green and gay

We'll sing you all a blossom

And a bud on every spring

Drawing near to the merry month of May



Rise up the master of this house

All in your chain of gold

We hope you're not offended

With your house we make so bold

Rise up the mistress of this house

With gold all on your breast

And if your body is asleep

We hope your soul's at rest



Rise up the children of this house

All in your rich attire

And every hair upon your head

Shines like a silver wire



God bless this house and all its kin

Its riches and its store

We hope that you will prosper here

Both now and evermore
