GREEN GROWS THE LAUREL

Green grows the laurel and fresh falls the dew
Sorry am I since I parted with you
Sorry am I since I parted with you
And we'll change the green laurel for the bonnets so blue

I can love little or I can love long

I only said I loved him to give his heart ease
Now his back is to me, I'll love who I please.

Often have I wondered why women love men
And then I've wondered what makes men love them
This is a mystery, but one thing I know
The men they are deceivers, wherever they go

be more verses I don't remember. Betty is a folk-singer from Georgia, now living
in North Carolina, I believe she has recorded for June Appal
