Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
Thou could desire no earthly thing
But still thou had it readily
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou would not love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
Greensleeves, farewell, adieu
I pray thee find prosperity
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
...and who but my Lady Greensleeves
