greensleeves

alas

my love

you do me wrong

to cast me off discourteously

for i have loved you for so long

delighting in your company

greensleeves was all my joy

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 thou would crave

i have both wagered life and land

your love and good-will for to have

greensleeves was all my joy

greensleeves was my delight

greensleeves was my heart of gold

and who but my lady greensleeves

well

i will pray to god on high

that thou my constancy mayst see

and that yet once before i die

thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

ah

greensleeves

now farewell

adieu

to god i pray to prosper thee

for i am still thy lover true

come once again and love me

greensleeves was all my joy

greensleeves was my delight

greensleeves was my heart of gold

and who but my lady greensleeves
