Greensleeves Songtext
von Hoyt Axton

(Hoyt Axton)

Alas my love, oh you do me wrong
To cast me out so discourteously
I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company.


Greensleeves was my heart′s delight
She was my everything
How was I to know she would not treat me right
She was my everything.

--- Instrumental ---

There is a house in New Orleans
The rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many young girls
Sweet greensleeves was just another one.

Alas my love, oh you do me wrong
I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company.
Delighting in your company...
