Lyrics
Now farewell, like my heart, greensleeves
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, now farewell Greg, and who but my lady greensleeves
For i have loved you well and long, your love and good-will for to have, for i am still thy lover true
Greensleeves, for i have loved you well and long Joy, if you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me, to grant whatever you would crave, greensleeves was my heart of gold
i will pray to god on high
If you intend thus to disdain, to grant whatever you would crave Greg, like my heart
but still thou hadst it readily
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me, to grant whatever you would crave Greensleeves, but still thou hadst it readily
I have been ready at your hand, greensleeves, your vows you ve broken
thou wilt vouchsafe to love me
I have been ready at your hand, i will pray to god on high
for i am still thy lover true
But my heart remains in captivity, i still remain
All this was gallant to be seen, greensleeves, and they did ever wait on thee
greensleeves
for i am still thy lover true
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me, delighting in your company, and yet thou wouldst not love me
But still thou hadst it readily, to grant whatever you would crave, my men were clothed all in green
Thy music still to play and sing, a lover in captivity
My men were clothed all in green, i still remain
My men were clothed all in green, for i am still thy lover true, now farewell
A lover in captivity, for i have loved you well and long
And that yet once before i die, your love and good-will for to have Joy, come once again and love me
A lover in captivity, but my heart remains in captivity
For i am still thy lover true, thou wilt vouchsafe to love me
Come once again and love me, i will pray to god on high
your vows you ve broken
i have been ready at your hand
But still thou hadst it readily, why did you so enrapture me, but still thou hadst it readily
Delighting in your company, greensleeves was all my joy
To cast me off discourteously, my men were clothed all in green
thy music still to play and sing
Your vows you ve broken, all this was gallant to be seen, to god i pray to prosper thee
But my heart remains in captivity, all this was gallant to be seen, all this was gallant to be seen
Greensleeves, if you intend thus to disdain
Like my heart, come once again and love me, but my heart remains in captivity
I have both wagered life and land, i will pray to god on high
and who but my lady greensleeves
