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 my delight, |
|
Greensleeves my heart of gold |
|
Greensleeves was my heart of joy |
|
And who but my lady Greensleeves. |
|
|
|
I have been ready at your hand |
|
To grant whatever thou would'st crave; |
|
I have waged both life and land |
|
Your love and goodwill for to have. |
|
|
|
Greensleeves was my heart of gold |
|
|
|
Thy petticoat of sendle white |
|
With gold embroidered gorgeously; |
|
Thy petticoat of silk and white |
|
And these I bought gladly. |
