Trad / Arr Vaughan Williams: Greensleeves

Ahh
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Ahh
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.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Ahh
I bought thee petticoats of the best,
The cloth so fine as it might be;
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Ahh
Then I will pray to God on high,
That thou my constancy mayst see
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and land on me.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my desire,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.
Ahh
