To cast me off disgorgeously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
and who but my lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever you would crave
I have both wage, life, and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
I bought thee couches till thy head,
That were old, fine, and gallantly.
I kept the ball that bought and bet
Which cost my purse well fa vouredly
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Thy gown was of the grassy green,
Thy sleeves of satin hanging by,
Which made thee be our harvest queen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily
Thy music still to play and sing,
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
And who did pay for all this gear
Even I that am reacted here,
And Thou disdain'st to love me
Well, I will pray to God on high
That thou my constancy may see
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Christus was all my love,
Christus was my heart of gold,
an d you that my lady Jesus
