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?
