From what I can gather, Sixteenth Century Greensleeves tells the story of an army that gathers enough courage to save a woman from an evil man who's captured her. The first couple stanzas indicate that the woman has been captured and that it's time to rescue her. The third stanza highlights the battle fought over her, and the last two seem to emphasize a victory celebration on the part of the army. The evil being who captured the woman is probably the one being hanged ("Hang him higher").
This song has such great imagery, and a great rock beat to boot. I was just wondering if anyone knows who the greensleeves are? The lyrics also need to be adjusted; the fourth stanza ahould read "Drawbridge down," not "Draw bright down."
@kirbsta Greensleeves, from what we know from History, appears to be Anne Boleyn (who lived from 1501 or 1507 to may 19th 1536, in the 16th century), and was married to Henri the VIIth of England, who was known to be a tyrant toward his wives.

This song may be talking about her and about the will people had to free the good queen.

Also, note that Elisabeth the Ist is Anne Boleyn's daughter.
