Alas, my love, you do me 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 delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my Lady Greensleeves Thy smock of silk both fair and white With gold embroidered gorgeously Thy petticoat of sendle white And these I bought thee gladly (Chorus) I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head And wool fine and gallantly I kept thee at both board and bed Which cost my purse well-favoredly I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever you would crave I have waged both life and land Your love and goodwill for to have (Chorus) Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu God I pray to prosper thee For I am still thy lover true Come once again and love me
