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.
