O Brignall banks are wild and fair	A
And Greta woods are green	B
And you may gather garlands there	A
Would grace a summer queen	B
And as I rode by Dalton Hall	C
Beneath the turrets high	D
A Maiden on the castle wall	C
Was singing merrily	E
	-
'O Brignall banks are fresh and fair	A
And Greta woods are green	B
I'd rather rove with Edmund there	A
Than reign our English Queen '	-
	-
'If Maiden thou wouldst wend with me	E
To leave both tower and town	F
Thou first must guess what life lead we	E
That dwell by dale and down	F
And if thou canst that riddle read	G
As read full well you may	H
Then to the green wood shalt thou speed	I
As blithe as Queen of May '	-
	-
Yet sung she 'Brignall banks are fair	A
And Greta woods are green	B
I'd rather rove with Edmund there	A
Than reign our English Queen	B
	-
'I read you by your bugle horn	J
And by your palfrey good	K
I read you for a Ranger sworn	J
To keep the King's green wood '	-
'A Ranger Lady winds his horn	J
And 'tis at peep of light	L
His blast is heard at merry morn	J
And mine at dead of night '	-
	-
Yet sung she 'Brignall banks are fair	A
And Greta woods are gay	H
I would I were with Edmund there	A
To reign his Queen of May	H
	-
'With burnish'd brand and musketoon	J
So gallantly you come	M
I read you for a bold Dragoon	J
That lists the tuck of drum '	-
'I list no more the tuck of drum	M
No more the trumpet hear	N
But when the beetle sounds his hum	M
My comrades take the spear	O
	-
'And O though Brignall banks be fair	A
And Greta woods be gay	H
Yet mickle must the maiden dare	A
Would reign my Queen of May	H
	-
'Maiden a nameless life I lead	G
A nameless death I'll die	D
The fiend whose lantern lights the mead	I
Were better mate than I	D
And when I'm with my comrades met	P
Beneath the green wood bough	Q
What once we were we all forget	P
Nor think what we are now '	-
	-
Chorus	R
Yet Brignall banks are fresh and fair	A
And Greta woods are green	J
And you may gather flowers there	A
Would grace a summer queen	J
