Natalie Merchant - King of May

"King Of May" Farewell today Travel on now Be on your way Go safely there Never worry Never care Beyond this day Farewell tonight To all joy and to all delight Go well and go peacefully We can't keep your majesty Be on your way Make ready for the last King of May Make a cardboard crown for him Make your voices one Praise a crazy mother's son Who loved his life Who loved his life Farewell today Travel on now Be on your way Can't bear the very thought That we could keep your majesty Be on your way Make ready for the last King of May Make a hole in the crowd for him Raise your voices up Lift your loving cups To his long life To his long life Make ready for the last King of May Make a hole in the sky for him Raise your voices up Drink your loving cups To his long life To his long life ="black">
