lyrics

Living in the the greenwood
When Spring is in the air
Blossom grows on every tree
Underneath the greenwood
The bluebells everywhere (the bluebell scented world)
Won't you come along with me?
Life is springing up again
Summoned by the warming rain
Underneath the greenwood tree

In the heat of summer
Shaded groves abound
Life is sweet and hearts are free
Down among the greenwood
Where secret joys are found
Won't you come along with me?
Lying by a crystal stream
Living in a sun-lit dream
Underneath the greenwood tree

Autumn in the greenwood
Seasons rolling by
Pick the fruit from every tree
Underneath the greenwood
Beneath a burnished sky
Won't you come along with me?
Lie beneath the spreading thorn
Waiting for a brighter dawn
Underneath the greenwood tree

Living in the greenwood
In winter's cold embrace
Hidden from the world's decree
Huddled in the greenwood
A blanket made of snow
Won't you come along with me?
Through the frost and blustery storm
Still the forest's heart beats warm
Underneath the greenwood trees

Living in the greenwood
The seasons of the year
Rise and fall in harmony
And life is but a journey
Along a winding path
Won’t you come along with me
Winter brings a sad refrain
But springtime will return again
Underneath the greenwood tree
