Intro :

Alas, my love , you do me wrong,

To ca st me off discourteo usly.

For I have loved you we ll and lo ng,

Del ighting in y our compa ny.

[Refrain :]

G reensleeves was all my joy ,

G reensleeves was my deligh t

G reensleeves was my he art of gold,

And who but my lady gr eensleeves.

Your vows you've brok en, li ke my hea rt,

Oh, wh y did you so enrap ture me ?

Now I rema in in a wo rld apart

But my h eart remai ns in captivit y.

[Refrain]

I have been read y at your hand,

To gra nt whatever you would crave ,

I have both w agered life a nd land,

Your l ove and good-will for to have .

[Refrain]

Well, I will pray to G od on high,

That t hou my constancy mayst se e,

And th at yet on ce befo re I di e,

Thou w ilt vouchsafe to love me.

[Refrain]

If you intend thus to disdain,

It does the more enrapture me,

And even so, I still remain

A lover in captivity.

[Refrain]

My men were clothed all in green,

And they did ever wait on thee;

All this was gallant to be seen,

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

[Refrain]

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,

But still thou hadst it readily.

Thy music still to play and sing;

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

[Refrain]

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,

To God I pray to prosper thee,

For I am still thy lover true,

Come once again and love me.
