Cover art for Green Man lyrics by Type O Negative

The song is about him working at Brooklyn Heights Promenade. He was in charge primarily of cleaning the park. Kids in the neighborhood dubbed him The Green Man because:

  1. He was huge! (6'8")
  2. He loved nature.
  3. He kept the park clear of "undesirables"

He was a gentle giant, and got along with the kids very well.
