Alas, my love, you have done me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,

Delighting in your company.

Chorus:

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady greensleeves.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart,

Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.


chorus


I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,

Your love and good-will for to have.

chorus


My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;

And this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou would not love me.


chorus

Instrumental break.......


chorus


Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,

Come once again and love me.
