GREENSLEEVES
Alas my love you do me great wrong.
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves.
I have been ready at hand
To grant whatever you crave;
I have both wagered life and land
your love and goodwill to have.
I bought kerchers to your head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
which cost my purse favouredly.
Chorus:
Greensleeves,now farewell! Adieu!
GOD I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true.
Come once again and love me.
