[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
