about

Most listeners will recognize "Greensleeves" as a traditional English folk song. Christmas and New Year texts were associated with the tune from as early as 1686, and by the 19th century almost every printed collection of Christmas carols included some version of words and music together, with one of the most popular being "What Child Is This?"

lyrics

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
And I have loved you oh so long
Delighting in your company

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you may crave
I have waged both life and land
Your love and goodwill for to have

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves

Your gown was of the grassy green
Your sleeves of satin hanging by
Which made thee be our harvest Queen
And yet you would not love me

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves my delight
Greensleeves my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleeves

This music invites a refreshing dissonance into the house, it leaves breadcrumbs along the path and reflects light back at the stars. ... more
