Alas, my love, you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously

And I have loved you so long

Delighting in your company

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my 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

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady

Greensleeves

I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head

And wool fine and gallantly

I kept thee both at 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

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady greensleeves

Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu

God I pray to prosper thee

For I am still thy lover true

Come once again and love me
