Greensleeves

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company.

[Chorus:]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves.

Alas, my love, that you should own
A heart of wanton vanity
So must I meditate alone
Upon your insincerity.

[Chorus]

Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

[Chorus]

If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

[Chorus]

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have.

[Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

I bought thee kerchiefs for thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee at both board and bed
Which cost my purse well-favoredly.
