Greensleeves Lyrics

[Peter Hollens & Tim Foust]
Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you for so long
Delighting in your company

[Peter Hollens & Tim Foust]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves (Greensleeves)

[Tim Foust]
I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever thou would crave

[Peter Hollens]
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have

[Peter Hollens & Tim Foust]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves

[Tim Foust]
Well, I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy mayst see

[Peter Hollens]
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

[Peter Hollens]
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee

[Peter Hollens & Tim Foust]
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me

[Peter Hollens & Tim Foust]
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves (who)
