Too long have I wandered Too long have I cried For friends that I have left behind And those that left my side I long for those days when I would settle with a grin And sit and laugh and drink and sing At the Greenman Inn So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door I swear before my days are done I will pass through there once more And I'll set me down with a tankard full And toast to those within God save the mistress and her host God save the Greenman Inn They say with age come wisdom But it mostly brings regret For those to whom I have done wrong And those to whom I own a debt But one day soon I hope to be back to where I miss most Troubles owed will be forgot Amongst that happy host So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door I swear before my days are done I will pass through there once more And I'll set me down with a tankard full And toast to those within God save the mistress and her host God save the Greenman Inn To friends of old and friends of new And foes and those between Remember why we gather there Remember I'll be getting here Those days seem so long ago So dim it fades to black But we are the ones who made those times And we can bring them back So keep an eye open toward that ageing oaken door I swear before my days are done I will pass through there once more And I'll set me down with a tankard full And toast to those within God save the mistress and her host God save the Greenman Inn So keep an eye open toward that aging oaken door I swear before my days are done I will pass through there once more And I'll set me down with a tankard full And toast to those within God save the mistress and her host God save the Greenman Inn God save the mistress and her host God save the Greenman Inn
