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
