Green Grows The Laurel

Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew Sorry am I to be parted from you Sorry am I that you proved untrue And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue You walked past my window both early and late The looks that you give me, they make my heart break The looks that you give me they caused me to rue That you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew Sorry am I to be parted from you Sorry am I that you proved untrue And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue I wrote her a letter, a few rosy lines She wrote me letter all twisted and twined You write to your love and I'll write to mine You stick with your love and I'll stick with mine Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew Sorry am I to be parted from you Sorry am I that you proved untrue And you changed the green laurel for the violet so blue --- Green Grows the Laurel - Kris Drever
