W:(Chorus)
W:Greensleeves was all my joy,
W:Greensleeves was my delight,
W:Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
W:And who but my lady Greensleeves.
W:
W:I have been ready at your hand
W:To grant whatever you would crave;
W:I have both wagered life and land,
W:Your love and goodwill for to have.
W:
W:I brought thee kerchers to thy head,
W:That were wrought fine and gallantly;
W:I kept thee both at board and bed,
W:Which cost my purse well favouredly.
W:
W:Well, I will pray to God on high,
W:That thou my constancy may'st see;
W:For I am still thy lover true;
W:Come once again, and love me.
