Too long have I wandered
Too long have I cried
For friends that I have left behind
And those that left my side
I long for those days when I would settle with a grin
And sit and laugh and drink and sing
At the Greenman Inn
So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door
I swear before my days are done
I will pass through there once more
And I'll set me down with a tankard full
And toast to those within
God save the mistress and her host
God save the Greenman Inn
They say with age come wisdom
But it mostly brings regret
For those to whom I have done wrong
And those to whom I own a debt
But one day soon I hope to be back to where I miss most
Troubles owed will be forgot
Amongst that happy host
So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door
I swear before my days are done
I will pass through there once more
And I'll set me down with a tankard full
And toast to those within
God save the mistress and her host
God save the Greenman Inn
To friends of old and friends of new
And foes and those between
Remember why we gather there
Remember I'll be getting here
Those days seem so long ago
So dim it fades to black
But we are the ones who made those times
And we can bring them back
So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door
I swear before my days are done
I will pass through there once more
And I'll set me down with a tankard full
And toast to those within
God save the mistress and her host
God save the Greenman Inn
So keep an eye open toward that aging oaken door
I swear before my days are done
I will pass through there once more
And I'll set me down with a tankard full
And toast to those within
God save the mistress and her host
God save the Greenman Inn
God save the mistress and her host
God save the Greenman Inn
