“Greensleeves” (Mason Williams) #90 5/3/1969

“Scarborough Fair” is but one example of an English Middle Ages song that found new life in the 60’s. In “The Merry Wives Of Windsor,” Shakespeare made reference to “Greensleeves,” done here as an classical guitar instrumental by Mason Williams. But then, ol’ Bill inferred Lady Green Sleeves was a hooker.
