• Green sleeves

Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company

Ref:
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.

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

Ref.

I bought thee petticoats of the best,
What cloth so fine as fine might be;
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.

Well will I pray to God on high
That thou my constancy may'st see
And that once more before I die
Thou wouldst vouchsafe to love me

Ref:

Greensleeves, now farewell! adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
