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 my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would'st crave
And I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
The petticoat of sendle white,
With gold embroidered gorgeously
The petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy,
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
