Perry Como

 

Greensleeves

Alas! my love you do me wrong 
to cast me off discourteously 
when I have loved you so long, 
delighting in your company!
 
Greensleeves is my delight, 
Greensleeves is all my joy 
Greensleeves, 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 wagered life and land 
your love and good will for to have!
 
Greensleeves is my delight, 
Greensleeves is all my joy 
Greensleeves, my heart of gold 
who but my Lady Greensleeves?
 
Well, I will pray to God on high 
that thou my constant sea may see
and that yet once before I  die 
thou will doth say to love me!
 
Greensleeves is my delight, 
Greensleeves is all my joy 
Greensleeves, my heart of gold 
and who but my Lady Greensleeves?
 
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?
