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 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 petticoat of sendle white
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?

I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head
And wool fine and gallantly
I kept thee at both board and bed
Which cost my purse well-favoredly

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have waged both life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves?

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