Best of Kelly Family

Oh a family of bard a travelling went
To distant lands a singing sweet
With pipes and strings and an open heart
Just to wish their brothers a good life


Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble Greensleeves


In Dante's land or there they'd marble strong
To see this celtic bloods sincerety
A look a smile even a tiny gift
And turn their backs through curtesely


Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble Greensleeves


Then come to the city of a waltz they said
There they'll love you passionately
But in truth they were given no time
And even scorned for the city of music
Is gone for gold


Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble Greensleeves


So they dances the way through scared and pained
To Shiller's sweet heaven and dearest folk
And at last they were watched with wondering love
And that lifted this family's saddened heart


Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was our delight
Greensleeves our heart of gold
And who but our noble Greensleeves
