[Chorus]
Oh green, it grows‚ the laurel
And soft‚ it falls‚ the dew
I am sorry my true lover
Forever parted from you
[Verse 1]
Oh once, there lived a captain
Who was born all out to sea
And before that he was married
He was sent far away
Oh, but when‚ that he returned
To her father, he did go
"Is your daughter inside, sir?
Can I see her once more?"
[Chorus]
Oh green‚ it grows, the laurel
And soft, it falls, the dew
I am sorry my true lover
Forever parted from you
[Verse 2]
"Oh my daughter is not here, sir
She left us here last night
She has gone to some nunnery"
Was the old man's reply
Oh green, it grows‚ the laurel
And soft‚ it falls‚ the dew
I am sorry my true lover
Forever parted from you
[Verse 1]
Oh once, there lived a captain
Who was born all out to sea
And before that he was married
He was sent far away
Oh, but when‚ that he returned
To her father, he did go
"Is your daughter inside, sir?
Can I see her once more?"
[Chorus]
Oh green‚ it grows, the laurel
And soft, it falls, the dew
I am sorry my true lover
Forever parted from you
[Verse 2]
"Oh my daughter is not here, sir
She left us here last night
She has gone to some nunnery"
Was the old man's reply
