| [00:16.74] |
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, |
| [00:17.52] |
To cast me off discourteously. |
| [00:18.18] |
For I have loved you well and long, |
| [00:27.18] |
Delighting in your company. |
| [00:27.75] |
Chorus: |
| [00:27.90] |
Greensleeves was all my joy |
| [00:28.44] |
Greensleeves was my delight, |
| [00:29.01] |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, |
| [00:32.25] |
And who but my lady greensleeves. |
| [00:32.94] |
Your vows you've broken, like my heart, |
| [00:36.66] |
Oh, why did you so enrapture me? |
| [00:37.59] |
Now I remain in a world apart |
| [00:43.53] |
But my heart remains in captivity. |
| [00:44.40] |
chorus |
| [00:51.36] |
I have been ready at your hand, |
| [00:51.96] |
To grant whatever you would crave, |
| [00:58.56] |
I have both wagered life and land, |
| [00:59.28] |
Your love and good-will for to have. |
| [01:00.09] |
chorus |
| [01:27.00] |
If you intend thus to disdain, |
| [01:32.61] |
It does the more enrapture me, |
| [01:33.24] |
And even so, I still remain |
| [01:33.81] |
A lover in captivity. |
| [01:34.86] |
chorus |
| [01:35.01] |
My men were clothed all in green, |
| [01:35.64] |
And they did ever wait on thee; |
| [01:38.13] |
All this was gallant to be seen, |
| [01:38.76] |
And yet thou wouldst not love me. |
| [01:39.45] |
chorus |
| [01:44.58] |
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, |
| [01:45.81] |
but still thou hadst it readily. |
| [01:46.47] |
Thy music still to play and sing; |
| [01:51.24] |
And yet thou wouldst not love me. |
| [01:51.93] |
chorus |
| [01:55.47] |
Well, I will pray to God on high, |
| [02:02.10] |
that thou my constancy mayst see, |
| [02:02.76] |
And that yet once before I die, |
| [02:19.50] |
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. |
| [02:20.04] |
chorus |
| [02:23.97] |
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, |
| [02:40.68] |
To God I pray to prosper thee, |
| [02:56.67] |
For I am still thy lover true, |
| [02:57.27] |
Come once again and love me. |
| [03:00.27] |
chorus |
