[Verse 1]
Dm                      C
When in the springtime of the year
         Am                           G
When the trees are crowned with leaves
Dm                             C
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
    Am                     G
Are dressed in ribbons fair
 
Dm                  C
When owls call the breathless moon
       Am                    G
In the blue veil of the night
    Dm             C
The shadows of the trees appear
 Am                     G
Amidst the lantern light
 
[Chorus]
D                   C
We've been rambling all the night
    G                   D
And some time of this day
D             C
Now returning back again
   G                   D
We bring a garland gay

[Verse 2]
Dm                         C
Who will go down to those shady groves
    Am                      G
And summon the shadows there
Dm                         C
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
       Am                    G
In the springtime of the year
 
Dm                          C
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
     Am                    G
That when the fiddler plays
Dm                C
All their voices can be heard
     Am                      G
Long past their woodland days
 
[Chorus]
D                   C
We've been rambling all the night
    G                   D
And some time of this day
D             C
Now returning back again
   G                   D
We bring a garland gay

[Verse 3]
Dm                        C
And so they linked their hands and danced
Am                          G
Round in circles and in rows
Dm                         C
And so the journey of the night descends
     Am                     G
When all the shades are gone
 
Dm                 C
"A garland gay we bring you here
    Am                   G
And at your door we stand
Dm                   C
It is a sprout well budded out
    Am                      G
The work of Our Lord's hand"
 
[Chorus]
D                   C
We've been rambling all the night
    G                   D
And some time of this day
D             C
Now returning back again
   G                   D
We bring a garland gay
 
D                   C
We've been rambling all the night
    G                   D
And some time of this day
D             C
Now returning back again
   G                   D
We bring a garland gay
