Greensleeves (Remastered)

Lyrics

Pete, Pete, I have heard you play that melody I believe for all of twenty years Pete Seeger: Fifteen but who's counting? Lee Hays: Uh, the thing is doesn't that song have any words? I've never heard you sing the words Pete Seeger: Uh, tell you the truth, Lee I looked it up in, uh, Francis James Child You know, collection of English ballads All forty verses of it, and each one is dumber than the last I've never had enough stomach to be able to sing it I gave thee this, I gave thee that And yet, thou wouldst not love me Alas, my love, you do me wrong To treat me so discourteously When I have suffered oh so long Delighting in your company Greensleeves, with all my joy Greensleeves, my heart and soul
