Greensleeves

1. 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,
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves, my heart of gold,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

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

3. Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart,
But my heart remains in captivity.
Greensleeves etc.

4. Well, 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.
Greensleeves etc.

5. 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 etc.
