Peter Hammersteen
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
to cast me off discourteosly,
and I have loved you for so long,
delighting in your company.
Refrain:Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
and who but my lady Greensleeves
Alas, my love, that you should be
a heart of faithless vanity,
so here I meditate alone
up on your insincerity.
Refrain
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
to God I pray to properthee,
for I remain thy lover true,
come once again and be with me.
