Greensleeves |
Greensleeves |
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, |
To cast me off discourteously. |
For I have loved you well and long, |
Delighting in your company. |
Chorus: |
Greensleeves was all my joy |
Greensleeves was my delight, |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, |
And who but my lady greensleeves. |
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. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
If you intend thus to disdain, |
It does the more enrapture me, |
And even so, I still remain |
A lover in captivity. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
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. |
Chorus |
Well, I will pray to God on high, |
that thou my constancy mayst see, |
And that yet once before I die, |
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. |
Chorus |
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. |
