Greenwood Laddie Lyrics

You muses assist me
There's none can resist me
Except for the young man
That I do adore
While others they grieve me
He's the young man can please me
He'll be my greenwood laddie
Whom I'll always adore
If you had seen my dearest
Whose eyes shine the clearest
His cheeks like the red blood
That's new dropped in snow
He is neat, tall and slender
And his hands warm and tender
He'll be my greenwood laddie
Till time is no more
If my parents, my darling
Should slight you with scorn
Because you've no riches
All wrapped up in store
The more that they slight you
The more I would invite you
To be my greenwood laddie
Whom I'll always adore
It's down in yon bower
I've spent many's the long hour
A-plucking wild flowers
In his company
It was his stolen kisses
Gave to me my heart's wishes
He'll be my greenwood laddie
Till time is no more
He'll be my greenwood laddie
Wherever he be
