The first thing to come to mind was Greensleeves   old English Folksong  close : )

 

note  In a letter held at the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum dated May 18, 1962, it is noted that "His favorite song is 'Green Sleeves' an old English composition."

King Henry VIII wrote "Greensleeves" for Anne Boleyn. We know how that ended.

I'm showing 41 pages of posts but none have "Silver Sping" performed by Stevie Nicks.  No love out there for Stevie Nicks?  Nice song.
