Greensleeves |
Alas my love you do me wrong |
To cast me off discourteously; |
And I have loved you oh so long |
Delighting in your company. |
GREENSLEEVES was my delight, |
GREENSLEEVES my heart of gold |
GREENSLEEVES was my heart of joy |
And who but my Lady GREENSLEEVES. |
I have been ready at your hand |
To grant whatever thou would’st crave; |
I have waged both life and land |
Your love and goodwill for to have. |
GREENSLEEVES wa my delight, |
GREENSLEEVES my heart of gold |
GREENSLEEVES was my heart of joy |
And who but my Lady GREENSLEEVES. |
Thy petticoat of sendle white |
With gold embroidered gorgeously; |
Thy petticoat of silk and white |
And these I bought gladly. |
GREENSLEEVES wa my delight, |
GREENSLEEVES my heart of gold |
GREENSLEEVES was my heart of joy |
And who but my Lady GREENSLEEVES. |
I always wondered how Tom Waits would |
sing GREENSLEEVES. |
When preparing my |
previous recording PARALLEL DREAMS, |
while waiting to do something else, we |
accidentally and spontaneously recorded |
this track in one take without ever intending |
to release it. |
However, here is, Tom. |
