How you doin' up there, alright?
And you?
You?
And you? Yeah
'Ey

A song from our first LP
Our very first one, called Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
A song about a lady, a lady with long green sleeves
We changed it to read Sixteenth Century
Greensleeves, this one, 'ey

It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower
The time has come
He must be undone
By the morning

Many times before
The tyrant's opened up the door
And someone cries
Still we close our eyes
Not againnn

Meet me when the sun is in the western skies
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Crossbows in the firelight
Greensleeves waving
Madmen raving
Through the shattered night
Yeah-yeah
Meet me when the sun is in the western skies
The fighting must begin before another someone dies
Crossbows in the firelight
Greensleeves waving
Madmen raving
Through the shattered night

Flames are getting higher
Make it leap unto the spire
Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We'll dance around the fire

No more night
I've seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Hang him higher, higher

Drawbridge down
Cut it to the ground
We'll dance around, yes, the fire

No more night
I've seen the light
Let it shine on bright
Get it up, get it higher, higher, higher
Drop the drawbridge down
Seated on the ground
We'll dance around
The fire

No more night
Everybody gonna see the light
Let me make it alright, yeah

I said, The lady
She's locked in the tower
In the sixteenth century
Oh no
Yeah, yeah, ohh, oh

My love is gone
She's done
Me wronnng

Ohh
Alright
