Greensleeves

from Specter in the Frost by Valentine Wolfe

/

lyrics

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company


Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves


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


I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave;
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have.


If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so I still remain
A lover in captivity


My men were clothed all in green
And they did ever wait on thee
All this was galant to be seen
And yet thou would not love me


Thou could desire no earthly thing
But still thou had it readily
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou would not love me
