lirik lagu greg brown - green grows the laurel
when first in this country, a stranger, i came,
in fair dublin city, that place of great fame,
it was my misfortune a fair one to see,
it was the beginning of my misery.
green grows the laurel and sweet falls the dew,
sorry i was when i parted from you,
but by our next meeting i hope you’ll prove true,
and we’ll love one another, as lovers should do.
if i were a clerk and could handle a pen,
i would write my love a letter, to her i would send,
saying, keep your own love, dear, and i will keep mine,
write to your sweetheart, and i’ll write to mine.
green grow the rushes and the tops of them small,
and love is a thing that can conquer us all.
the tulip may wellow, it may fade and die soon,
but the red rose will flourish in the sweet month of
june.
o can’t you love little, o can’t you love long,
can’t you love a new love till your old one returns,
can’t you say that you love him, his mind for to ease,
and when his back’s turned, can’t you love who you
please ?
green grows the laurel and sweet falls the dew,
sorry i was when i parted from you,
but by our next meeting i hope you’ll prove true,
and we’ll love one another, as lovers should do.
