Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ZENITH, No. 6: "Greensleeves"


Our man in europe/davedelacroix/ZENITH, No. 6:  "Greensleeves"


...Ran into JOHNNY PHELAN (Irish fella), World traveller and BANDOLEER, on a Pilgrimage to ROMA. He crashed one night at the HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite/big screen TV), Piacenza, Italy...
So. Post- pasta-pesto!  plus  vino, late into the night; guitar in-hand, a Guinness in the other, he strums - with HIS TEETH! - belting out:  "Greensleeves"
(a walking-talking, singing "renaissance"  BLUES" number)

GREENSLEEVES (talking bit!)

Don't forget? Less WE forget? -the forgetting?
Don't lend a hand, don't lift a hand?
Nor give a hand, unless U got a spare to share?

Don't kiss my lips, boy or girl? Don't sail
the SEVEN SEAS for something more?
If U DO?
.....Send me a bloody postcard!

GREENSLEEVES  (singing bit!)

Greensleeves? - all my joy? Greensleeves? - my heart's delight?
Greensleeves? -  with all my soul? Greensleeves? - your heart of gold;
And a Whisky for me in the morning.

....He, (Johnny Phelan/Irish fella)
World traveller and BANDOLEER? -he was long gone
when I awoke at the crack of BRIGADOON? -CASH, (€35, left for me on the coffee table);
an atmosphere of "good groove", and THIS:
WOT U READ:

"Greensleeves? all my joy. Greensleeves? -my heart's delight?
Greensleeves?? -with all my Soul? Greensleeves? -your heart of gold?
And a Whisky for me in the morning..."

"....Don't forget? -less WE forget; the forgetting..."

SLANGE!
