Greensleeves Lyrics

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To treat me so discourteously
I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
I gave thee kerchiefs for thy head
Wrought so fine and elegantly
Kept thee both at board and bed
Still thou wouldst not love me

Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves is my delight
Greensleeves with your heart of gold
Who but my lady, Greensleeves
Thy gown was of the grassy green
Hanging by were satin sleeves
That made thee the harvest queen
Still thou wouldst not love me

Greensleeves, now, fare thee well, adieu
God, I pray, will prosper you
I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves is my delight
Greensleeves with your heart of gold
Who but my Lady, Greensleeves

[whistles in the dark]

Greensleeves, now, fare thee well, adieu
God, I pray, will prosper you
I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
