Greensleeves lyrics

Song information

Artist: Loreena Mckennitt
Album: The Visit

Lyrics

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

Ch: greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy
And who, but my lady greensleeves

2: I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou wouldst crave
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have

(Ch)

3: thy petticoat of sattin white
With gold embroidered gorgeously
Thy petticoat of silken white
And these I bought thee gladly

(Ch)
