"One Morning in May" is a traditional folk song.
Lyrics have been traced to the 17th Century, are variable, and have passed under various titles, including "The Nightingale" and "The Grenadier and the Lady".[1]
A version of the song is used in the 1967 film Far From the Madding Crowd.
Lyrics appeared in 1927 in The American Songbag by Carl Sandburg,[2] having come through Gilbert Raynolds Combs.[2][3] Those lyrics are used by Bill Keith and Jim Rooney,[citation needed] by James Taylor on his 1972 album One Man Dog, and by The Country Gentlemen on their eponymous 1973 album. A version of the ballad was also recorded by 'Gaelic Americana' artist Kyle Carey on a joint EP (released 2013) of the same title with British folk duo Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker.
"As I Was Walking One Morning in May" appears as an Irish air in Stanford's 1905 edition of George Petrie's collection, bearing the attribution "From P. Coneely".[4] Its relation to extant ballads called "One Morning in May" is unclear.
