Alas, my love, you do me wrong.

To cast me off discourteously,

For I have loved you for so long,

Delighting in your company.

Greensleeves was all my joy,

Greensleeves was my delight,

Greensleeves was my heart of gold,

And who but my lady

Greensleeves?

I have been ready at your hand,

To grant whatever you would

crave.

I have both waged life and land

Your love and good will for the

have.

Greensleevees. . .

I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head,

That were wrought fine and gal-

lantly;

I kept thee both at board and bed,

Which cost my purse well

favouredly.

Greensleevees. . .

I bought thee petticoats of the best,

The cloth so fine as fine might be;

I gave thee jewels for thy chest,

And all this cost I spent on thee.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy smock of silk, both fair and white,

with gold embroidered gorgeously:

Thy petticoat of Sendall right:

and thus I bought thee gladly.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy girdle of gold so red,

with pearls bedecked sumptu-

ously:

The like no other lasses had,

and yet thou would’st not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy purse and eke thy gay gilt knives,

Thy pincase gallant to the eye;

No better wore the burgess wives,

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy crimson stockings all of silk,

with gold all wrought above the

knee,

Thy pumps as white as was the milk,

and yet thou would’st not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy gown was of the grassy green,

Thy sleeves of satin hanging by,

Which made thee be our harvest

queen,

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Thy garters fringed with the gold

And silver aglets hanging by

Which made thee blithe for to behold

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

My gayest gelding I thee gave,

To ride wherever liked thee;

No lady ever was so brave,

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

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.

Greensleevees. . .

They set thee up, they took thee down

They served thee with humility

Thy foot might not once touch the

ground

And yet thou woulds’t not love

me.

Greensleevees. . .

For every morning when thou rose,

I sent thee dainties orderly,

To cheer they stomach from all woes,

And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Thou canst desire no Earthly thing

But still thou hadst it readily

Thy music still I play and sing

And yet thou wouldst not love me

Greensleevees. . .

And who did pay for all this gear

That thou didst spend when

pleased thee

Even that I am rejected here

And thou disdainest to love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Well, I will pray to God on high

That thou my constancy mayst

see,

And that yet once before I die,

Thou will vouch safe to love me.

Greensleevees. . .

Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,

To God I pray to prosper thee,

For I am still thy lover true.

Come once again and love me.

Greensleevees. . .
