Back to Long Ago Love Songs

GREENWOOD DUET.

 Come with me to the greenwood tree

And join me in my song

Join me in my merry song-

And be my Marion.

I’ll come with thee to the greenwood tree

And join thee in thy song

With a kiss of my hand

And a playful bow

Shalt be thy Marion.

I will give thee a Lincoln gown

Of kersey to put on

Oh, kersey cloth thou shalt put on

And be my Marion.

I would wear thy Lincoln gown

And kersey I’ll put on

With a slipper soft

And a bonded braid

Behold thy Marion.

I would fetch thee a golden cup

That a merchant hoarded long

That a merchant hoarded for too long

Shalt be my Marion.

Pray fetch me not a golden cup

That a merchant hoarded long

I’d fain to see thee upon the tree

For that wouldst end thy song

Hanged in chains for the crowd to see

I’d fain to see thee upon the tree

Oh Robin, love, shouldst thou do wrong-

Then I’m not thy Marion.
