GREENSLEEVES
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Alas my love oh you do me wrong to cast me out so discourteously
I have loved you so long delighting in your company
Greensleeves was my heart's delight
She was my everything
How was I to know she would not treat me right
She was my everything
[ flute ]
There is a house in New Orleans the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many young girls
Sweet greensleeves was just another one
Alas my love oh you do me wrong
I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company
Delighting in your company
