Greensleeves See also What Child Is This?

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously;
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company.
 
Green sleeves was my delight,
Green sleeves my heart of gold
Green sleeves was my heart of joy
And who but my lady green sleeves.
 
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.
      Chorus
 
Thy petticoat of sendle white
With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly.
