Green Sleeves

　　Alas my love you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously
　　And I have loved you so long, 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 petti-coat of sendal right, sendal right, 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.

　　Greensleeves farewell adieu adieu, and God I pray to prosper thee,
　　For I am still thy lover true, lover true, Come once again and love me.
　　Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight.
　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold, and who but my lady Greensleeves.
