May is the Month

May is the month I´ll be waking
And time may come and time may come if I may
But in June I am breaking
But I may come and I may come if I may

July is the month that I'm weeping
I'll be undone, yeah I'll be undone and I pray
'cause in August I'll be sleeping
And I'll be dumb but I may hum

If I may, if I may, if I make it and I may
If I may, if I may, if I make it and I may

Ooooh

September till November I am falling
I down that rum, yeah I drown in rum
So I won't feel a thing in December
And I'll be numb, yeah I'll be numb
Yeah I may

January is the month I'll be dying
So beat the drum, so beat the drum
For my bed until April where I'm lying
The choir's thrum and strings will strum
Yeah they may, if they may, if they wake me and I may
If they may, if they may, if they wake me and I may

Oooooh. Oooooh

May is the month when I'm rising
And I may come, and I may come

To be true to my maker, myself, my undertaker
'cause I will come ooooh someday

Ooooooooh
