Lyric Leaving Green Sleeves
Alas, my love, you did me wrong,
To cast me out discourteously,
For I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your very company.
Now if you intend to show me disdain,
Don t you know it all the more enraptures me,
For even so I still remain your lover in captivity.
Green sleeves, you re all alone,
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone.
Green sleeves, there s no one home,
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves.
I sang my songs, I told my lies,
To lie between your matchless thighs.
And ain t it fine, ain t it wild
To finally end our exercise
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn,
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new.
I reached for you but you were gone,
So lady I m going too.
Green sleeves, you re all alone ...
Green sleeves, you re all alone,
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home.
Green sleeves, it s so easily done,
Leaving the Lady Green Sleeves.
To cast me out discourteously,
For I have loved you so long,
Delighting in your very company.
Now if you intend to show me disdain,
Don t you know it all the more enraptures me,
For even so I still remain your lover in captivity.
Green sleeves, you re all alone,
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone.
Green sleeves, there s no one home,
Not even the Lady Green Sleeves.
I sang my songs, I told my lies,
To lie between your matchless thighs.
And ain t it fine, ain t it wild
To finally end our exercise
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn,
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new.
I reached for you but you were gone,
So lady I m going too.
Green sleeves, you re all alone ...
Green sleeves, you re all alone,
The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home.
Green sleeves, it s so easily done,
Leaving the Lady Green Sleeves.
