Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you 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.
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.
I bought the kerchiefs to thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favouredly.
Greensleeves, now farewell! Аdieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
