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. |
| — L.M. |
