An English Folk song. The tune seems to date back to 1580 and is found in several late 16th-century and early 17th-century sources**
*”In 1865, the English writer William Chatterton Dix. wrote the poem “What Child Is This?” that became a popular Christmas carol based on the melody of “Greensleeves”…” Source: https://www.singing-bell.com/greensleeves-lyrics-pdf/
Lyrics Source: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Traditional-folk-song-Greensleeves-lyrics.html Alas, my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you so long Delighting in your company Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
Your vows you’ve broken, like my heart Oh, why did you so enrapture me? Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever you would crave I have both wagered life and land Your love and good-will for to have Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
If you intend thus to disdain It does the more enrapture me And even so, I still remain A lover in captivity Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
My men were clothed all in green And they did ever wait on thee All this was gallant to be seen And yet thou wouldst not love me Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing but still thou hadst it readily Thy music still to play and sing And yet thou wouldst not love me Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu To God I pray to prosper thee For I am still thy lover true Come once again and love me Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves
“…..Little darlin’, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter Little darlin’, it feels like years since it’s been here Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright…… Little darlin’, the smile’s returning to their faces Little darlin’, it seems like years since it’s been here Here comes the sun Here comes the sun, and I say It’s alright….”

O sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. 4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. 7 Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. 8 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. 9 O, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. 10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” 11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; 12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord. 13 For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.
14 O Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name!

Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens…”
