Greensleeves

Oh, my love, my love, what have you done?

You have broken my heart and now I am undone.

I gave you my heart, but you took it for your own,

And now you will never see me smile again.

Oh, my love, my love, how cruel you are,

You promised me love, but now you're gone so far.

You left me alone in the cold, with no one to turn,

Now I'm weeping and crying for the love I've lost.

Oh, my love, my love, why do you treat me so?

You said you'd be true, but now you're not so.

You were kind and gentle when you first did appear,

But now you are cold and cruel, and I can't bear.

Oh, my love, my love, I wish you would stay,

For I'm lost without you, and I cannot say.

If you had been true, I'd have loved you still,

But now you are gone, and I must be a pill.
