Greensleeves (prog-folk)

[Baroque instrumental intro] [Verse1] Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company. [Chorus] Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves. [Verse2] Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart, Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity. [Chorus] [Verse3] 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. [Chorus] [Verse4] If you intend thus to disdain, It does the more enrapture me, And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity. [Chorus] [Verse5] My men were clothed all in green, And they did ever wait on thee; All this was gallant to be seen, And yet thou wouldst not love me. [Chorus] [Verse6] Thou couldst desire no earthly thing, but still thou hadst it readily. Thy music still to play and sing; And yet thou wouldst not love me. [Chorus] [Verse7] Well, I will pray to God on high, that thou my constancy mayst see, And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me. [Chorus] [Outro] [Verse7] Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. [Chorus instrumental] [End] [Lute bridge] [Chorus] [Outro] [Verse7] Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me. [Chorus instrumental] [End]
