Greensleeves (Murder Robes)
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To treat me thus discourteously
For I have loved you for so long
Delighting in your company
(chorus)
My murder robes were an awesome sight
My murder robes filled my foes with fright
My murder robes made me one with the night
'til you buggered them right up with green sleeves
(chorus)
You've changed my trousers to britches white
The velvet kind that stop at the knee
You've made me wear doublets of pastels bright
And all of this I've done for love of thee
(chorus)
I've had to bid the Scouts' Guild adieu
And even the Bards' Guild are laughing at me
When once the world feared what I might do
They say, "Look, here's that burk with the Greensleeves!"
