Greensleeves lyrics

[Strophe 1]
Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company

[Refrain]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

[Strophe 2]
Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity

[Refrain]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

[Strophe 3]
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]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

[Instrumental]

[Hook]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my heart of gold

[Strophe 4]
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Oh, come once again and love me

[Refrain]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green

[Refrain]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my lady in Green
[Outro]
And who but my lady in Green
Who but my lady in Green
