Greensleeves is a traditional English folk song. The tune is found in several late-16th and early 17th-century sources.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that Lady Green Sleeves was a promiscuous young woman and perhaps a prostitute. At the time, the word "green" had sexual connotations, most notably in the phrase "a green gown", a reference to the way that grass stains might be seen on a woman's dress if she had engaged in sexual intercourse out of doors. Interesting, ha?
This is one of those pieces I learned at my elementary guitar-class.
