Greensleeves


Alas, my love you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
And I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your company.

Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy.
And oh, Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave.
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good will for to have.

(chorus)

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
But still thou hasdt it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

(chorus)

I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy mayest see.
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouch safe to love me.

(chorus)
