"Greensleeves"

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
But still thou hadst it readily
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou wouldst not love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my heart of gold

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Oh, come once again and love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

And who but my lady in Green
Who but my lady in Green
