Come to the greenwood tree,
Come where the dark woods be,
Dearest, O come with me!
Let us rove-O my love-O my love!

Come-'tis the moonlight hour,
Dew is on leaf and flower,
Come to the linden bower,-
Let us rove-O my love-O my love!

Dark is the wood, and wide
Dangers, they say, betide;
But, at my Albert's side,
Nought I fear, O my love-O my love!

Welcome the greenwood tree,
Welcome the forest free,
Dearest, with thee, with thee,
Nought I fear, O my love-O my love!
