[00:05.550] Lie down,lie down,love henry lee and stay with me this night.
[00:11.750] You will have my candle and coal,my fire's burning bright.
[00:18.110] My fire's burning bright!
[00:23.810] I won't lie down,i can't lie down and stay all night with you!
[00:30.590] There's a lady ten times fairer than you in barnards hall for me.
[00:37.470] In barnards hall for me!
[00:44.470] He's leaning o'er her soft pillow to give her a kiss so sweet;
[00:50.150] But her little,thin knife held keen and sharp,
[00:56.240] She's wounded him full(for?)Deep.
[00:58.110] She's wounded him full(for?)Deep!
[00:59.310] Oh,i will lie down,i must lie down.i welcome it said he!
[01:05.510] There's no lady in barnards hall that i love better than thee!
[01:11.100] I love no better than thee!
[01:27.190] Well live my lord. Lord henry she said,
[01:30.230] For an hour,two or three.
[01:32.880] And all the cards about my waist i freely give to thee.
[01:38.620] I'd freely give to thee!
[01:41.980] Well all them cards about your waist will do no good for me!
[01:47.730] Love don't you see my own cards flash(flesh?)Come twinkling at my knee.
[01:54.400] Come twinkling at my knee!
[01:57.640] She took him by his long yellow hair,
[02:00.480] She dragged him by his feet!
[02:03.550] She threw him down a cold,
[02:05.870] Dark well some fifty fathoms deep.
[02:09.390] For fifty fathoms deep!
[02:34.820] Lie down,lie down you pretty little bird.
[02:39.360] Lie down along my knee.
[02:42.740] No girl who would murder her own true love,
[02:45.880] Would kill a little bird like me.
[02:48.890] Would kill a little bird like me!
[02:51.490] Oh,i wished i had my bending bow,my arrow in my string!
[02:57.700] I'd shoot my dart right through your heart so you no longer sing.
[03:03.780] So you no longer sing!
[03:20.500] I wished you had your bending bow,
[03:27.010] Your arrow in your string!
[03:35.990] I'd fly on back to barnyards hall,
[03:39.180] You'd always hear me sing.
[03:42.190] You'd always hear me sing!
[03:45.000] I'd fly on back to barnyards hall,
[03:48.350] You'd always hear me sing.
[03:51.150] You'd always hear me sing!
[03:57.460]
