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 through the skin to the core



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 at the door



Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head, lay your head on the greenman

Lay your head, lay your head with mine

Lay your head, lay your head, lay your head, lay your head on the greenman

Build a bed out of oak and pine



See the greenman blow his kiss from high church wall

And unknowing church will amplify his call
