Green Grows the Laurel Lyrics

I once had a sweetheart

But now I have none

She's gone and she's left me

To weep and to mourn

She's gone and she's left me

For others to see

But I'll soon find another

Far better than she

I wrote her a letter

And wrote it so fine

She wrote back an answer

All twisted and twined

Saying, "keep your love letters

And I'll keep mine"

"You write to your love

And I'll write to mine"

I lied

To you

About how I feel

She passes my window

Nearly every day

And the looks that she gives me

Make my heart break

The looks that she gives

A thousand would kill

Though she hates and detests me

I love that girl still

I lied

To you

About how I feel

Green grows the laurel

Soft falls the dew

Sorry was I, love

When parting from you

And when we meet again

I hope I prove true

And we'll join the green laurel

And the violets so blue

I lied

To you

About how I feel

I lied

To you

About how I feel

I lied

To you

About how I feel
