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 shoreHeed the greenman, heed the greenmanPlease 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 doorLay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head 'pon the greenman
Lay your head... with mine
Lay your head... 'pon the greenmanBuild a bed, out of oak and pine
See the greenman blow his kiss
from high church wall
An unknowing church will amplify his callPlease 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
