Greensleeves

Alas, my love, you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously,

And I have lovéd 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 your hand

To grant whatever you would crave.

I have both wagéd life and land,

Your love and goodwill for to have.

I bought thee petticoats of the best,

The cloth so fine as might be.

I gave thee jewels for thy chest,

And all this cost I spent on thee.
