歌词
Get down get down little Henry Lee and stay all night with me
The very best lodging I can afford will be fare better'n thee
I can't get down and I won't get down and stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better'n thee
She leaned herself against a fence just for a kiss or two
With a little pen-knife held in her hand she plugged him through and through
Come all you ladies in the town a secret for me keep
With a diamond ring held on my hand I'll never will forsake
Some take him by his lily-white hand some take him by his feet
We'll throw him in this deep deep well 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
Fly down fly down you little bird and alight on my right knee
Your cage will be of purest gold in deed of property
I can't fly down or I won't fly down and alight on your right knee
A girl would murder her own true love would kill a little bird like me
If I had my bend and bow my arrow and my string
I'd pierce a dart so nigh your heart your wobble would be in vain
If you had your bend and bow your arrow and your string
I'd fly away to the merry green land and tell what I have seen
