[Caroline Lavelle - Greenwood Laddie lyrics]

Ye muses assist me
There is none can resist me
Save only that fair one whom I do adore
And the more that they tease me
The more he would please, me
He'll be my my greenwood laddie
Til time is no more

Have you seen my dearest whose
Eyes shine the clearest
Whose lips like the red blood
New dropped in the snow
He is neat tall and handsome
His arms warm and gentle
He'll be my greenwood laddie til
Time is no more

My parents my darling
They slight you with scorn
Because you have no riches wrapped
Up in a store

But the more that they slight you
The more I'll entice you
To be my greenwood laddie til time is no more

Twas down in yonder bower I spent many hours
A-plucking wild flowers on yon winding shore
Twas his stolen kisses caused
My fondest wishes
He'll be my greenwood laddie
Whom I'd always adore

If I had the riches of
The east or west indies
Or if I had the gold of the African shore
Or if I could gain thousands I
Would lie in your sweet arms
And you'd be my greenwood laddie
Til time is no more
