  Alas  my love  you do  me wrong
  To cast  me off discourteously;
  And  I have loved  you oh  so long
  Delighting in  your company.
  Greensleeves  was my  delight,
  Greensleeves  my heart  of gold
  Greensleeves  was my heart  of joy
  And who  but my lady  Greensleeves.
 
  I have  been ready at  your hand
  To grant  whatever thou  would'st crave;
  I have  waged both  life  and land
  Your love  and goodwill  for to  have.
  Greensleeves  was my  delight,
  Greensleeves  my heart  of gold
  Greensleeves  was my heart  of joy
  And who  but my lady  Greensleeves.
 
  Thy petticoat  of sendle  white
  With gold  embroidered gorgeously;
  Thy petticoat  of silk  and white
  And these  I bought  gladly.
  Greensleeves  was my  delight,
  Greensleeves  my heart  of gold
  Greensleeves  was my heart  of joy
  And who  but my lady  Greensleeves.
