Greensleeves
Katey Sagal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You fooled me with your cunning wild
And I have loved you for oh, so long
Enchanted by your boyish smile
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
I offered you my gentle hand
For you to take with man's desire
A gift of both my life and land
I risked it all on truth or lie
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
Life set you up, and it took you down
It broke you with humility
When your feet, they touch the ground
You cried that you no longer loved me
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
Green sleeves now you say goodbye
I pray you find the love you crave
I'll forever believed a lie
Your love will last to my grave
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
The song "Greensleeves" by Katey Sagal & The Forest Rangers is a modern interpretation of an old English folk tune that dates back to the 16th century. The song is a ballad of unrequited love, with the singer expressing their love for someone who has betrayed them. The lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and resignation, with the singer acknowledging the painful truth that their love was not reciprocated.
The first verse suggests that the singer has been deceived by the object of their affection, who has used their "cunning wild" to trick them. Despite this betrayal, the singer has loved this person for a long time and has been enchanted by their "boyish smile." The chorus describes the effect that the sight of green sleeves has had on the singer's heart and soul, suggesting that this person wearing green sleeves has become a symbol of hope and comfort for them.
In the second verse, the singer offered their hand, their life, and their land to this person, taking the risk of either being embraced or rejected. Unfortunately, the latter happened, as depicted in the third verse when life's circumstances broke and humbled this person, making them cry that they no longer loved the singer. The final verse sees the singer acknowledging the end of the relationship and wishing the person well, while still feeling the pain of the betrayal.
Overall, "Greensleeves" is a timeless love ballad that speaks to the universal human experience of longing, heartbreak, and unrequited love.

This show got me thru some tough times...Katey played her character so flawlessly, it was a joy to watch her. What a gifted actor, I had no idea she could sing until yesterday when I ran across this track...I was always a fan but that feeling and respect is doubly reinforced now. Wow, just terrific.
