Greensleeves lyrics

Alas, my love, you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously

And I have loved you oh so long

Delighting in your company



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 all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves, my heart of gold

And who but my Lady Greensleeves

And I will pray to God on high

That thou my constancy may see

And that yet once before I die

Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves, my heart of gold

And who but my Lady Greensleeves

Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu

To God I pray to prosper thee

For I am still thy lover true

Come once again and love me
