Greensleeves - Méav

Alas my love you do me wrong

To cast me off discourteously

And I have loved you do so long

Delighting in your company

Green sleeves was all my joy

Green sleeves was my delight

Green sleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady

Green sleeves

Thy smock of silk both faire and white

With gold embroidered gorgeously:

Thy petticoat of silk and white

And these I bought thee gladly

Green sleeves was all my joy

Green sleeves was my delight

Green sleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady

Green sleeves

I bought the kerchers to the head

And wrought so fine and gallantly

I kept thit both at board and bed

Which cost my purse well favouredly

I have been ready at your hand

To grant whatever you would crave

I have wagered both life and land

Your love and good-will for to have

Green sleeves was all my joy

Green sleeves was my delight

Green sleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady green sleeves

Green sleeves now farewell adiu

God I pray to prosper there

For I am still thy lover true

Come once again and love me
