Henry Lee |
Lie down, lie down, love henry lee and stay with me this night |
You will have my candle and coal, my fire’s burning bright |
My fire’s burning bright! |
I won’t lie down, i can’t lie down and stay all night with you! |
There’s a lady ten times fairer than you in barnards hall for me |
In barnards hall for me! |
He’s leaning o’er her soft pillow to give her a kiss so sweet; |
But her little, thin knife held keen and sharp |
She’s wounded him full (for?)Deep |
She’s wounded him full (for?)Deep! |
Oh, i will lie down, i must lie down. |
i welcome it said he! |
There’s no lady in barnards hall that i love better than thee! |
I love no better than thee! |
Well live my lord. |
Lord henry she said |
For an hour, two or three |
And all the cards about my waist i freely give to thee |
I’d freely give to thee! |
Well all them cards about your waist will do no good for me! |
Love don’t you see my own cards flash (flesh?)Come twinkling at my knee |
Come twinkling at my knee! |
She took him by his long yellow hair |
She dragged him by his feet! |
She threw him down a cold |
Dark well some fifty fathoms deep |
For fifty fathoms deep! |
Lie down, lie down you pretty little bird |
Lie down along my knee |
No girl who would murder her own true love |
Would kill a little bird like me |
Would kill a little bird like me! |
Oh, i wished i had my bending bow, my arrow in my string! |
I’d shoot my dart right through your heart so you no longer sing |
So you no longer sing! |
I wished you had your bending bow |
Your arrow in your string! |
I’d fly on back to barnards hall |
You’d always hear me sing |
You’d always hear me sing! |
I’d fly on back to barnards hall |
You’d always hear me sing |
You’d always hear me sing! |
