Alas my loue, ye do me wrong,
To cast me off discurteously:
And I haue loued you so long
Delighting in your companie.

Greensleeues was all my ioy,
Greensleeues was my delight:
Greensleeues was my heart of gold,
And who but Ladie Greensleeues.

Thy smock of silk, both faire and white,
With gold embrodered gorgeously:
Thy peticote of Sendall right:
And thus I bought thee gladly.

(refrain)

I bought three kerchers to thy head,
That were wrought fine and gallantly:
I kept thee both boord and bed,
Which cost my purse wel fauouredly.

(refrain)

I haue been readie at your hand,
To grant what euer you would craue.
I haue both waged life and land,
Your loue and good will for to haue.

(refrain)

Greensleeues now farewel adue,
God I pray to prosper thee:
For I am stil thy louer true,
Come once againe and loue me.
