Lyrics

Oh Old Tom came from out of the wood,
On a grassy knoll his house stood,
Boots of yellow,
Coat of blue,
Come together,
Make green the man,
With a feather in hat,
Face apple-red,
From the milk-white path,
To the border tread,
All outside no matter to him,
He’ll sing them away,
With the power of a word,
As the rain is falling down outside,
He asks of it to leave him dry,
Lillies white for a lady gold,
By his beard was courted under the river,
In darkest graves he shone with the dawn,
Took a blue-stoned brooch of she long gone,
Trinkets have no hold over him,
No matter the maker,
He is him,
Bring back the song of the oldest music,
To the one whose heart is green and true,
My rhyme commands knot and twisted root,
From time before creation,
Acorn, wind and rain all call me father,
And when I stray to far I hear her calling,
The river daughter awaits,
Bring back the song of the oldest music,
To the one whose heart is green and true,
My rhyme commands knot and twisted root,
From time before creation,
By my tune the green shall never fade,
Never fade,
Never fade,
Never fade.
