Greensleeves/What Child Is This

Alas my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously;
And I have loved you oh so long,
Delighting in your company,

Refrain

Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
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.

Refrain

Thy petticoat of slender white
With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of silk and white
And these I bought gladly.

Refrain
