Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
And I have loved you well so long,
Delighting in your company.
Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady green sleeves.
If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady green sleeves.
Green sleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.
Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady green sleeves.
Green sleeves was all my joy,
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady green sleeves.
