Greensleeves kings singers with vocals (lyrics in description)

There is a persistent belief that Greensleeves was composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. Boleyn allegedly rejected King Henry s attempts to seduce her, and this rejection may be referred to in the song when the writer s love cast me off discourteously. However, the piece is based on an Italian style of composition that did not reach England until after Henry s death, making it more likely Elizabethan in origin. lyrics as follows: Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company.
