Green Grows the Laurel Songtext
von Mick Moloney

Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
Sorry am I love, I parted with you
Sorry am I love, contented must be
She loves another far better than me
I passed my love′s window early and late
The look that she gave me, it made my heart break
The look that she gave me could ten thousand kill
She loves another but I love her still
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
Sorry am I love, I parted with you
Sorry am I love, contented must be
She loves another far better than me


I wrote her a letter in short rosy lines
The answer she gave me, 'twas twisted and twined
You write your love letters fancy and fine
You write to your love and I will write mine
I wonder, I wonder why women love men
And I can′t help but wonder why they love them
For women are faithful and kind as you know
But men are deceivers wherever they go
Green grows the laurel, soft falls the dew
Sorry am I love, I parted with you
Sorry am I love, contented must be
She loves another far better than me
