I believe that Hoyt Axton died of a heart attack in 1998 or 1999 in Montana. I think he was living there at the time. He was in his 60's.

In 1580 a man named Richard Jones signed the Stationer's Register in England and was licensed to print a new northern dittye of the Lady Green-Sleeves.It is also rumored but unsubstantiated that King Henry VIII wrote the lyrics in 1530.The notion of the green sleeves being acquired from a session of 'splendor in the grass' in entertaining.Why don't we all have a snickers bar and sing a chorus or two whilst we ponder the mysteries of the song's origins.

Actually,the song is supposed to be a joke with sexual innuendo,and that she is called "Lady Greensleeves" because her dress was stained green from making love on the ground.(Grass stains)

It was written by King Henry VIII of England about his then mistress Anne Boleyn (she became his second wife). She was known for wearing green, the Tudor colour.
