1. As it fell out one May morning, / On a bright holiday, / Sweet Jesus ask'd His mother dear, / If He might go to play. / "To play, to play, sweet Jesus go. / And to play now get you gone, / And let me hear of no complaints, / At night when you come home."
2. Sweet Jesus went down to yonder town, / As far as the Holy Well, / And there did see as fine children / As any tongue can tell. / He said, "God bless you ev'ry one, / May Christ your portion be: / Little children, shall I play with you? / And you shall play with Me."
