Now once I was a schoolgirl
All in my pencil and slate
Can't you see what I've come to
From staying out late
And it's once I had a colour
That is as red as any rose
Ah but now I'm as pale
As the lily that grows
And it's green grows the laurel
And so cold now blows the dew
And how sorry
Was I when I parted from you
Just like the rose in the garden
When her bloom is all gone
Can't you see what I've come to
For loving that man
Now my parents disliked me
They've turned me away from their door
So I told them that I'd ramble
Like I used to before
And I picked up my baby
And I've walked out the door
And I told them that I'd ramble
Like I used to before
And it's green grows the laurel
And so cold now blows the dew
And how sorry
Was I when I parted from you
Just like the rose in the garden
When her bloom is all gone
Can't you see what I've come to
For loving that man
So it's me and my baby
And contented we will be
And I'll try to forget him like he forgot me
And while there's love on the ocean
And there's love on dry land
While there's breath into my body
I will still love that man
And it's green grows the laurel
And so cold now blows the dew
And how sorry
Was I when I parted from you
Just like the rose in the garden
When her bloom is all gone
Can't you see what I've come to
For loving that man
Green Grows The Laurel - Norma Waterson
