[length: 02:39]
[00:00.28]Alas, my love, you did me wrong
[00:06.07]To cast me out discourteously
[00:11.95]For I have loved you so long
[00:17.19]Delighting in your very company
[00:22.63]Now if you intend to show me disdain
[00:27.47]Don’t you know it all the more enraptures me?
[00:33.36]For even so I still remain
[00:38.05]Your lover in captivity
[00:43.63]Green Sleeves, you’re all alone
[00:48.95]The leaves have fallen, the men have gone
[00:53.94]Green Sleeves, there’s no one home
[00:59.10]Not even the Lady Green Sleeves
[01:06.66]I sang my songs, I told my lies
[01:12.77]To lie between your matchless thighs
[01:17.41]And ain’t it fine, ain’t it wild
[01:23.18]To finally end our exercise?
[01:29.95]Then I saw you naked in the early dawn
[01:36.01]Oh, I hoped you would be someone new
[01:41.53]I reached for you but you were gone
[01:46.71]So lady, I’m going too
[01:52.17]Green Sleeves, you’re all alone
[01:57.09]The leaves have fallen, the men are gone
[02:02.69]Green Sleeves, there’s no one home
[02:07.69]Not even the Lady Green Sleeves
[02:13.13]Green sleeves, you’re all alone
[02:18.33]The leaves have fallen, the men have all gone home
[02:23.99]Green sleeves, it’s so easily done
[02:27.36]And he’s leaving the Lady Green Sleeves
