Lady Greensleeves

The winter moon is shining bright
The Yuletide log is bruning
Good people gather round tonight
The Sabat wheel is turning

Chorus:
Joy, mirth, the Sun´s rebirth
Now as of old we greet thee
gladning is the song we sing
of praises to the Lady

Twas at the feast of bright Beltane
When we all were a-Maying
Sweet minsterel Queen, in her gown of green
Spring rondele was playing 

Chorus

And thou, now robed in snow
Her wintry garb deveices
Deck with holy and mistletoe
She´s still our Lady Greensleeves

Chorus

So drink ye wassails everyone
Good pagan all make merry
With wine as red the reborn Sun
As red as holly berries

Chorus

Dance, sing come join the ring
as her Yuletide spell she weaves
Fair queen be evergreen
Sweet lovely Lady Greensleeves

Chorus



Alternative Version:


The winter moon is shining bright
The yuletide log is burning
Good people gather and tonight
the sabbat wheel is turning
Joy, Mirth, the Sun's rebirth
Noels of old we greet thee
Life's ring is the song we sing
of praises of the Lady

T'was at the feast of bright beltain
when we all were a maying
Sweet minstrel, pleated her gown of grains
Spring round the lady was playing
And though now robed in snow
Her wintery garb deceives
For bedecked with holly and mistletoe
She is still our Lady Greensleeves

So drink thee wassail everyone
Good pagans all make merry
With wine as red as the reborn sun
As red as Holly berry
Dance, sing, come join the ring
As the yuletide's boughs she weaves
Fair Queen, the evergreen,
Sweet lovely Lady Greensleeves
