Greensleeves

Lyrics

License: public_domain — Tudor-era English song; traditional lyrics in the public domain.

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously,
For I have loved you well and 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.

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.
