Greensleeves Lyrics

Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
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
I bought the kerchers to thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly

I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favouredly.
[Chorus]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves?
I bought thee petticoats of the best,
The cloth so fine as fine might be:
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.
Well, I will pray to God on hie,
That thou my constancy maist see:
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
[Chorus]
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
[Chorus]
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?
