Alas my love, ye do me wrong,
to cast me off discourteously:
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your companie.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.

Thy smock of silk, both faire and white,
with gold embrodered gorgeously:
Thy peticote of Sendall right:
and thus I bought thee gladly.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.

I bought three kerchers to thy head,
that were wrought fine and gallantly:
I kept thee both boord and bed,
Which cost my purse wel favouredly.

I have been readie at your hand,
to grant what ever you would crave.
I have both waged life and land,
your love and good will for to have.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.

Greensleeves now farewel adue,
God I pray to prosper thee:
For I am stil thy lover true,
come once againe and love me.
