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.
