    Green Sleeves

    Uploaded by

    Andrea Genitoni
    This is a traditional folk song arranged for two unaccompanied female voices. The song is about unrequited love and longing, with the singer addressing their love who has "done them wrong" and "cast them off". Over three verses, the singer expresses how their love and joy had been in "Green-sleeves" and prays that God will prosper their love, though they remain loyal even if apart.
