Greensleves |
Greensleeves was my delight |
Greensleeves was all my joy |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, |
And who but my lady greensleeves. |
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. |
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. |
Greensleeves was my delight |
Greensleeves was all my joy |
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, |
And who but my lady greensleeves. |
Alas, my love, you do me wrong, |
To cast me off discourteously. |
And I have loved you well and long, |
Delighting in thy company. |
