It seems, my love, you do me wrong
You fooled me with your cunning wild
And I have loved you for oh, so long
Enchanted by your boyish smile
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
I offered you my gentle hand
For you to take with man's desire
A gift of both my life and land
I risked it all on truth or lie
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
Life set you up, and it took you down
It broke you with humility
When your feet, they touch the ground
You cried that you no longer loved me
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
Green sleeves now you say goodbye
I pray you find the love you crave
I'll forever believed a lie
Your love will last to my grave
Green sleeves stirred my heart anew
Green sleeves caught my eye of blue
Green sleeves put my soul at ease
So, I gave my love to sweet green sleeves
