Alas, my love, you did me wrong, |
|
To cast me out discourteously, |
|
For i have loved you so long, |
|
Delighting in your very company. |
|
Now if you intend to show me disdain, |
|
Don't you know it all the more enraptures me, |
|
For even so i still remain your lover in captivity. |
|
Green sleeves, you're all alone, |
|
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone. |
|
Green sleeves, there's no one home, |
|
Not even the lady green sleeves |
|
I sang my songs, i told my lies, |
|
To lie between your matchless thighs. |
|
And ain't it fine, ain't it wild |
|
To finally end our exercise |
|
Then i saw you naked in the early dawn, |
|
Oh, i hoped you would be someone new. |
|
I reached for you but you were gone, |
|
So lady i'm going too. |
|
Green sleeves, you're all alone ... |
|
Green sleeves, you're all alone, |
|
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home. |
|
Green sleeves, it's so easily done, |
|
Leaving the lady green sleeves. |
