Greensleeves

Lyrics

[Strophe 1] Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you well and long Delighting in your company [Refrain] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves my heart of gold And who but my lady in Green [Strophe 2] 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 [Refrain] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves my heart of gold And who but my lady in Green [Strophe 3] 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 [Refrain] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves my heart of gold And who but my lady in Green [Instrumental] [Hook] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves my heart of gold [Strophe 4] 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 [Refrain] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves my heart of gold And who but my lady in Green [Refrain] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves my heart of gold And who but my lady in Green [Outro] And who but my lady in Green Who but my lady in Green
