| Stretched on Your Grave presents.... |
| Greensleeves (continued) |
| For every morning when thou rose, I sent thee dainties orderly, To cheer thy stomach from all woes, And yet thou wouldst not love me Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my Lady Greensleeves. 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 Greensleeves......etc And who did pay for all this gear, That thou didst when pleased thee, Even I that am rejected here, And thou disdainst to love me Greensleeves......etc Well I pray to God on high, That thou my constancy mayest see, And that yet once before I die, That thou wilt vouchsafe to love me Greensleeves......etc Greensleeves now farewell adieu God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my Lady Greensleeves. |
