Greensleeves - Gregorian

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously
When I have loved you oh so 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

Well, I will pray to God on high
Tah thou my constancy mayst see
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me

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
Come once again and love me

Your tags are messed up. You seperate them with a single space, not a semikolon ;-)

I love the song! This old-ish English is great!

[XTainiconAnTainivanX]

That's the title of the painting not the song

And not trying to be a now it all but I think it was originally spelled Greensleeues

I may be mistaken

@SleepingOnTheMoon : Traditionally, it's held that Henry VIII wrote it or had it wrote about Anne Boleyn.
