Greensleeves
Lyrics
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would'st crave
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Thy petticoat of sendle white
With gold embroidered gorgeously
Thy petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Alas my love you do me wrong
