59. Hey nonny no!
Christ Church MS. |
| |
| HEY nonny no! | |
| Men are fools that wish to die! | |
| Is 't not fine to dance and sing | |
| When the bells of death do ring? | |
| Is 't not fine to swim in wine, | 5 |
| And turn upon the toe, | |
| And sing hey nonny no! | |
| When the winds blow and the seas flow? | |
| Hey nonny no! | |
