Lyrics
Did you see my dearest, with his eyes of the clearest His cheeks like red blood that's new dropped on snow? For he was tall, dark and slender, his arms warm and tender He'll be my greenwood laddie wherever he may be My parents, my darling, they slight you with scorn Because you have no riches wrapped up in store But the more that they slight you, the more I invite you To be my greenwood laddie whom I'd always adore For if I had the wealth of the East or West Indies Or if I had the gold of the African shore Or if I could gain thousands, I'd nest on your bosom And you'd be my greenwood laddie and the boy I adore It was down in those bowers where I spend many happy hours A-plugging the flowers in his company And it was his stolen kisses gave me my heart's wishes He'll be my greenwood laddie till time is no more
