Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And 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 you has 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 you has greensleeves?
Alas, my love, that you should own
A heart of wanton vanity
So must I meditate alone
Upon you insincerity
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but you has greensleeves?
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!
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but you has greensleeves?
