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

Greensleeves was my heart's delight
She was my everything how was I to know she
Would not treat me right
She was my everything

There is a house in New Orleans
The rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many young girls
Sweet greensleeves was just another one

Alas my love, oh you do me wrong
I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Delighting in your company
