Greensleeves

Hoyt Axton

 

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

 

[ flute ]

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
