Please to bend down for the one called

the greenman

He wants to make you his bride

Please to bend down for the one called

the greenman

Forever, to him, you're tied

And you know for a million years

he has been your lover

He'll be a million more

And you know for a million years

he has been your lover

Down from the hill

To the shore



Heed the greenman, heed the greenman



Please to dance round for the one called

the greenman

He wants to make you his child

Please to dance round for the one called

the greenman

Dressed in the fruits of the wild

And you know for a million years

he has been your father

He'll be a million more

And you know for a million years

he has been your father

Run to his arms from your door



Lay your head, lay your head

Lay your head, lay your head 'pon the greenman

Lay your head... with mine

Lay your head... 'pon the greenman



Build a bed, out of oak and pine

See the greenman blow his kiss

from high church wall

An unknowing church will amplify his call



Please to bend down...

And you know for a million years...

Lay your head... 'pon the greenman

Lay your head...



Please to bend down for the one called the greenmen

Lay your head
