At our wedding ceilidh a friend sang a version of the song in the first post on this thread, which he'd learnt at Forest Camps. I haven't seen it anywhere else - where does it come from?

Oh the hart he loves the green wood, and the hare he loves the hill,
And the knight he loves his broadsword ....(memory fades)
dum de dum but ending with
And the lady loves her will.

There were, I think three verses. I'd have to watch our wedding video again to find the words!
