(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.

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...
