Greensleeves Songtext
von Izzy

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

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

I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head
That were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favourably

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves


I bought thee petticoats of the best
That were so fine as fine might be
I gave thee jewels for thy chest
And all this cost I spent on thee

Well I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy mayest see
And that it was before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves

Greensleeves now farewell adieu
God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves
