Alas, my love, you do me wrong

[Verse]
                       C
Thy smock of silk both fair and white
     Dm               A7
With gold embroidered gorgeously

And these I bought thee gladly

And who but my Lady Greensleeves
 
[Verse]
                        C
I bought thee kerchiefs to thy head
    Dm               A7
And wool so fine and gallantly
  Dm                C
I kept thee at both board and bed

Which cost my purse well-favouredly

To grant whatever you would crave

I have waged both life and land

Your love and goodwill for to have

Come once again and love me
