"Greensleeves" is a traditional English folk song which appeared in the late 16th century.
Lyrics:
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,By the way, what a deeply sad and gentle irony it is "Greensleeves, my heart of gold".
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have courted you so long,
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves, my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.
So, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
May good fortune prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Oh, come once again and love me.
