Strawberry Leaves

Master Hirsch von Henford,
Lady Clare Fitzwilliam,
Emelye of the Cuillin Hills,
Lord Seamus Padraig O'Baoigheallain,
Mistress Aldith Angharad St. George,
and DUKE James Greyhelm

(To the Tune of: Strawberry Fields, by The Beatles)

CHORUS:
Let me knock you down,
'cause I want to win Strawberry Leaves.
It's, like, for real,
And nothing to get loose about!
Strawberry Leaves Forever.

Fighting is easy for our Knights,
Misunderstanding all the blows.
It's getting hard to be a Duke,
But it all works out.
You don't matter much to me.
(Chorus)

No one laughing, kissing my feet,
I mean I must be on the Throne.
That is I can't, you know, not yet,
But it's alright.
That is, I think I'm not too bad.
(Chorus)

Always low, sometimes hits my knee,
But for now I know that it's The Dream.
I think I'm hit, I mean, oh yes,
But the angle's wrong.
That is, I think you will agree.
(Chorus)

Strawberry Leaves forever, Strawberry Leaves forever ...


"Written at Rockridge BART Practice, and at my home after spending a long time listening to a tape of the original, trying to make sense of the original lyrics (not an easy task!). This was very collaborative as it required input from a variety of people to get it to come together and make at least as much sense as the original song by The Beatles (they had some GOOD drugs ...)." -- Hirsch von Henford
