Green Grows The Laurel |
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew |
Sorry was I love when parting from you |
But at our next meeting I hope you’ll prove true |
And we’ll join the laurel and the violet so blue |
I once had a sweetheart but now I have none |
He’s gone and he’s left me to weep and to mourn |
He’s gone and he’s left me for other to see |
I’ll soon find another far better than he |
He passes my window both early and late |
And the looks that he gives me would make my heart break |
The looks that he gives me a thousand would kill |
Though he hates and detests me I love that lad still |
I wrote him a letter in red rosy lines |
He wrote back an answer all twisted and twined |
Saying keep your love letters and I’ll keep mine |
You write to your love and I’ll write to mine |
Now often I wonder why maidens love men |
And often I wonder why young men love then |
But from my own knoeledge I will have you know |
The men are deceivers wherever they go |
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew |
Sorry was I love when parting from you |
But at our next meeting I hope you’ll prove true |
And we’ll join the green laurel and the violet so blue |
