| [00:01.39] |
"Get down, get down, little Henry Lee, |
| [00:06.07] |
and stay all night with me. |
| [00:12.70] |
The very best lodging |
| [00:15.03] |
I can afford will be fare better'n thee." |
| [00:22.33] |
"I can't get down, and I won't get down, |
| [00:27.44] |
and stay all night with thee, |
| [00:32.63] |
For the girl I have in that merry green land, |
| [00:37.55] |
I love far better'n thee." |
| [00:43.79] |
She leaned herself against a fence, |
| [00:48.74] |
just for a kiss or two; |
| [00:53.40] |
With a little pen-knife held in her hand, |
| [00:58.34] |
she plugged him through and through. |
| [01:03.47] |
"Come all you ladies in the town, |
| [01:08.44] |
a secret for me keep, |
| [01:13.31] |
With a diamond ring held on my hand |
| [01:18.31] |
I'll never will forsake." |
| [01:24.56] |
"Some take him by his lily-white hand, |
| [01:29.32] |
some take him by his feet. |
| [01:34.27] |
We'll throw him in this deep, deep well, |
| [01:39.07] |
more than one hundred feet. |
| [01:43.99] |
Lie there, lie there, loving Henry Lee, |
| [01:48.68] |
till the flesh drops from your bones. |
| [01:53.64] |
The girl you have in that merry green land |
| [01:58.59] |
still waits for your return." |
| [02:04.87] |
"Fly down, fly down, you little bird, |
| [02:09.67] |
and alight on my right knee. |
| [02:14.87] |
Your cage will be of purest gold, |
| [02:20.64] |
in deed of property." |
| [02:25.44] |
"I can't fly down, or I won't fly down, |
| [02:30.41] |
and alight on your right knee. |
| [02:35.13] |
A girl would murder her own true love |
| [02:39.79] |
would kill a little bird like me." |
| [02:46.52] |
"If I had my bend and bow, |
| [02:50.60] |
my arrow and my string, |
| [02:56.00] |
I'd pierce a dart so nigh your heart |
| [03:00.40] |
your wobble would be in vain." |
| [03:06.34] |
"If you had your bend and bow, |
| [03:10.34] |
your arrow and your string, |
| [03:15.22] |
I'd fly away to the merry green land |
| [03:19.88] |
and tell what I have seen." |
| [03:23.76] |
