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 delight,

Greensleeves my heart of gold


Greensleeves was my heart of joy


And who but my lady Greensleeves.




Thy petticoat of sendle white


With gold embroidered gorgeously;

Thy petticoat of silk and white


And these I bought gladly.




Greensleeves was my delight,


Greensleeves my heart of gold


Greensleeves was my heart of joy

And who but my lady Greensleeves.
