Annotation:Farewell ye Green Fields

Back to Farewell ye Green Fields

---

FAREWELL YE GREEN FIELDS. English, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Words to the song begin:

Farewell ye green fields and sweet groves,
Where Philis engaged my fond Heart,
Where nightingales warble their loves,
And Nature is dress'd without Art;
No pleasure they now can afford,
Nor Music can lull me to rest,
For Phillis proves false to her Word,
And Strephon can never be blest.
