more than one hundred feet.

Lie there, lie there, loving Henry Lee,

till the flesh drops from your bones.

The girl you have in that merry green land

still waits for your return."

in deed of property."

would kill a little bird like me."

my arrow and my string,
拿出箭与弦，
I'd pierce a dart so nigh your heart
我将射一支镖直入你心脏，
your wobble would be in vain."

your arrow and your string,

I'd fly away to the merry green land

and tell what I have seen."
