Greensleeves

The Kelly Family

Compositor: Jörgen Elofsson

Oh a family of bards
A travelling went to distant lands
A singing sweet
With pipes and strings and an open
Heart,just to wish their brothers
The good life

Chorus:
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

Chorus:

Then come to the citiy 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

Chorus:

So they danced their way
Though scared and pained
To Shiller´s sweet haven
And dearest folk and at
Last they were watched with
Wondering love,and that lifted
This family´s saddened heart
