Greensleeves (trad.) (with Al Petteway & Marcy Marxer) The early English folksong upon which "What Child is This" is based. Yet another version I like to sing is from "How the West Was Won," a movie I adored as a child.
Lyrics
Alas my love you do me wrong - To cast me off discourteously;
And I have loved you oh so long - Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was my delight, - Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy - And who but my lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your hand - To grant whatever thou would'st crave;
I have waged both life and land - Your love and goodwill for to have.
Greensleeves was my delight, - Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy - And who but my lady Greensleeves.
Thy petticoat of slender white - With gold embroidered gorgeously;
Thy petticoat of silk and white - And these I bought gladly.
Greensleeves was my delight, - Greensleeves was my heart of gold
Greensleeves was my heart of joy - And who but my lady Greensleeves.
