Greensleeves

1.
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
to cast me of discourteously;
and I have loved you so long,
delightning in your company.

Refrain:
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
and who but you has Greensleeves?

Refrain:

2.
If you intend thus to disdain,
it does the more enrapture me,
and even so, I still remain
a lover in captivity.

Refrain:

3.
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever you would crave,
I have both waged life and land,
your love and good will for to have.

Refrain:

4.
Alas, my love, that you should own
a heart of wanton vanity,
so must I meditate alone
upon your insincerety.

Refrain:

5.
Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
to God I pray to prosper thee,
for I am still your lover true,
come once again and love me!
