Here's the text from a broadside at Bodleian Library Broadside Ballads, Harding B 26(236):

A NEW SONG, CALLED THE GREENWOOD LADDY

1. Ye muses assist me, no one can possess me
Only that young man that I do adore,
He's neat, tall, and slender, his hue soft and tender,
He's my Green-wood lad, and the boy I adore

2. O yonder's my dearest. his eyes are the clearest
His cheeks like the blood newly dropped down on snow,
He's neat, tall, and slender, his hearts soft, and tender,
Nature has formed him to be my overthrow.

3. Your parents my darling, owes you a great scorn,
Because I'm not fit your companion to be,
But do your endeavour my darling to please them,
Court some other young man think no more of me.

4. If your parents, my darling owe me a great scorn,
Because you'r not fit my companion to be,
But the more they do slight you the more I'll invite you,
You're the Greenwood lad and the boy I adore

5. Many's the hour we spent down in the bower,
Kissing and courting in your sweet company,
'Twas your soft melting kisses gained my fond wishes,
You're my greenwood lad and the boy I ador

6. O was I possess'd of the East or west Indias,
Or was I possess'd of the African store,
Or had I a thousand to my darling I'd give it
You're my greenwood lad and the boy I adore

7. This couple they hurried and quickly got married,
She has got her sweet heart with thousands in store,
She seems quite contented there's none could prevent it,
She got her greenwood lad and the boy she adored.
