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

Your vows, you've broken like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart, it remains in captivity

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

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

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

If you intend to be this way
It does the more enrapture me
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity

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