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

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

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

Alas my love that you should own
A heart of Wanton vanity
So must I meditate alone
Upon your insincerity

Greensleeves, now farewell…adieu
And God I pray to prosper thee!
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me
