Greensleeves
Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever you would crave;
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good will for to have
I bought the kerchers to thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favouredly.
Chorus
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves?
I bought thee petticoats of the best,
the cloth so fine as fine might be:
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
and all this cost I spent on thee.
Well, I will pray to God on hie,
that thou my constancy maist see:
And that yet once before I die,
thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
Chorus
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
Chorus
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever you would crave;
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good will for to have
I bought the kerchers to thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favouredly.
Chorus
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves?
I bought thee petticoats of the best,
the cloth so fine as fine might be:
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
and all this cost I spent on thee.
Well, I will pray to God on hie,
that thou my constancy maist see:
And that yet once before I die,
thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
Chorus
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
Chorus
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?
