From the wonderful Tony Mizen book. Henry the Eighth did not write Greensleeves, but he did write this! He wrote it shortly after his coronation, when he was a young man. The words are upbeat, and it was the big hit of the day, played at festivals and gathering. I can imagine the population doing a Morris Dance to it, so I did it in a jaunty manner!
