Please to bend down for the one called
the greenman
He wants to make you his bride
Please to bend down for the one called
the greenman

Forever, to him, you're tied
And you know for a million years
he has been your lover
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years
he has been your lover
Down through the skin
To the core

Heed the greenman, heed the greenman

Please to dance round for the one called
the greenman
He wants to make you his child
Please to dance round for the one called
the greenman
Dressed in the fruits of the wild
And you know for a million years
he has been your father
He'll be a million more
And you know for a million years
he has been your father
Run to his arms from your door

Lay your head, lay your head
Lay your head, lay your head 'pon the greenman
Lay your head... with mine
Lay your head... 'pon the greenman

Build a bed, out of oak and pine
See the greenman blow his kiss
from high church wall
An unknowing church will amplify his call

Please to bend down...
And you know for a million years...
Lay your head... 'pon the greenman
Lay your head...

Please to bend down for the one called the greenmen
Lay your head
