Drawing Nearer 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 BR
