Here on the common ground
Here on the common ground
Sun is warm on the Paris lawn
Now that the May Queen's crowned

Here is a balmy day
Here is a balmy day
Far off times in the caravan
Hide for your holiday

I was a lonely child
I was a lonely child
I sailed free on an empty sea
They told me I was wild

Summer had set me free
Summer had set me free
I was home with a pagan soul
Charmed by a pagan dream

Then they caught me
And they beat me
Tried to teach me right from wrong
I escaped them
And I told them
There was something far beyond
Their narrow little minds
Here comes a man in green
Here comes a man in green
Far away from another time
Not from this century

Summer is on the way
Here is a balmy day
Far off times in the caravan
Forgotten holidays

Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah
