Greensleeves Songtext
von Jeri Brown

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

Greensleeves was all your joy
Greensleeves was your delight
Greensleeves was your heart of gold
And I was your lady greensleeves

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


Greensleeves was all your joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And I was your lady greensleeves

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

Greensleeves was all your joy
Greensleeves was your delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And I was your lady greensleeves

Well, I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy mayst see
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me


Greensleeves was all your joy
Greensleeves was your delight
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
And I was your lady greensleeves
