...Alas my love you do me wrong
to cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you , oh so long,
delighting in your company
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
Greensleeves my heart of joy
And who but my lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever thou would´st crave
I have waged both life and land
your love and goodwill for to have
Your vows you´ve broken
like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
But my heart remains in captivity.
