Lyrics The Kelly Family – Greensleeves
Text:
Oh a family of bards
A travelling went
To distant lands
A singing sweet
Just to wish their brothers
The good life
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble greensleeves
In «Dante’s» land, oh there they Marble strong
To see this Celtic bloods sincerety
A look a smile even a tiny gift
And turned their backs though curtesely
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble greensleeves
Then come to the city of a waltz they say:
«There they’ll love you passionately»
But in truth they were given no time and even scorned
For the city of music is gone for gold
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble greensleeves
So they danced their way
Though scared and pained
To Shiller’s sweet haven
And at last they were watched with wondering love
And that lifted this family’s saddened heart
Greensleeves was all our joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble greensleeves
