Greensleeves (Carnegie Hall version)

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Lee Hays:
Pete, Pete, I have heard you play that melody
I believe for all of twenty years

Pete Seeger:
Fifteen but who's counting?

Lee Hays:
Uh, the thing is doesn't that song have any words?
I've never heard you sing the words

Pete Seeger:
Uh, tell you the truth, Lee
I looked it up in, uh, Francis James Child
You know, collection of English ballads
All forty verses of it, and each one is dumber than the last
I've never had enough stomach to be ablе to sing it
I gave thee this, I gave thee that
And yet, thou wouldst not lovе me
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To treat me so discourteously
When I have suffered oh so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves, with all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart and soul
