GUEST,Celtic Origins: Is Green Sleeves really Irish? (85* d) RE: Origins: Is Green Sleeves really Irish? 20 Dec 05


If you know your History better then the church would have you belive you would know that King arthur was actualy a Celtic king who organized the other Kings of the country against the Romans and Christianity After king arthurs death his Daughter who was nicknamed Lady greensleaves whom was also a archer became a General for The united kingdoms army. They fought so feircly against the romans that they built adrians wall to keep them out
it was sang in the origional song of her bravery in the war and the song was played with a more irish type jig just play it on the piano as fast as you can and you pretty much have it oh and put it in adolian mode.

But sadly when the christians took out the druids all memory of the origional lyrics were erased but they managed to keep the origional toon of the song alive by converting it to the Christian method of music thats all i was told. though very few will belive what i wrote based on the grounds that the church adopted the story of king arthur as thier bedtime story and altered horribly ha ha
