Some years ago a woman friend asked me to sing at her wedding. She was a regular in the hoots and folk song sessions, so she had a pretty good idea of the songs I knew. So I asked her what she wanted me to sing. One of the songs was "Greensleeves."

Taken aback a bit, I asked, "Janice, have you ever actually listened to the words of that song?"

She looked at me a bit blankly, so I sang the song for her.

She decided, "Uh . . . maybe not."
