Greensleeves Medley  
words and music Traditional
A Pinch of Greensleeves by GUNN-MCKEE

Alas, my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you so long
Delighting in thy company.
Greensleeves was all my joy
And Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at thy hand
To grant whatever you would crave;
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good will for to have.
I bought the kerchers to thy head
They were wrought fine and gallantly
I kept thee both at board and bed
Which cost my purse well favouredly.
Greensleeves, now farewell! adieu!
God I pray to prosper thee;
Tor I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.
