Past Three a Clock Songtext
von Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner

Past three o′clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o'clock, Good morrow, masters all!
Born is a baby, Gentle as may be, Son of the Eternal, Father Supernal
Past three o′clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o'clock, Good morrow, masters all!
Seraph choir sing it, Angel bell ring it, Hark!
How they rhyme it, time it, and chime it
Past three o'clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o′clock, Good morrow, masters all!
Hinds o′er the purlie, Dewy laurier, Seek
The high stranger, Laid in the manger Past three o'clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o′clock, Good morrow, masters all!
Cheese from the dairy, Bring they for Mary
And not for money, Butter and honey
Past three o'clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o′clock, Good morrow, masters all!
Thus they, I pray you, Upselves nor stay you
Till ye confess Him, Likewise, and bless Him
Past three o'clock, And a cold frosty morning
Past three o′clock, Good morrow, masters all!
