Greensleeves

Greensleeves - Amy Nuttall

Alas my love you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously

And I have loved you so long

Delighting in your company

My smock of gold so crimson red

With pearls bedecked sumptuously

The like no other lasses had

And yet thou wouldst not love me

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleves was my heart of gold

And who but my 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

Well I pray to god on high

That my constancy mayest see

And that yet once before I die

Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

Greensleeves was all my joy

Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleves was my heart of gold

And who but my 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 my heart of gold

And who but my greensleeves
