Here comes the May Queen
She's dressed in rags and ribbons
Here comes the May King
He's dressed in oak and ivy
Here comes the May Queen
She lies beneath a thorn tree*
Here comes the May King
He lies beneath a thorn tree
Here comes the May Queen
*thorn tree= Hawthorne tree, the "fairy tree" and tree of love, which blooms in May
First written May 2004, in Yreka California, recorded in about 2009
