Greensleeves

(traditional)



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 all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady greensleeves



If you intend to be this way

It does the more enrapture me

And even so i still remain

A lover in captivity



Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady greensleeves



Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu

God, i pray he will 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
