[00:01.66]"Get down get down little Henry Lee
[00:06.79]And stay all night with me
[00:13.19]The very best lodging
[00:15.55]I can afford will be fare better'n thee"
[00:23.08]"I can't get down and I won't get down
[00:27.82]And stay all night with thee
[00:32.52]For the girl I have in that merry green land
[00:37.61]I love far better'n thee"
[00:44.21]She leaned herself against a fence
[00:48.83]Just for a kiss or two;
[00:53.98]With a little pen-knife held in her hand
[00:58.88]She plugged him through and through
[01:03.54]"Come all you ladies in the town
[01:09.00]A secret for me keep
[01:13.45]With a diamond ring held on my hand
[01:18.57]I'll never will forsake"
[01:24.96]"Some take him by his lily-white hand
[01:29.81]Some take him by his feet
[01:34.83]We'll throw him in this deep deep well
[01:39.47]More than one hundred feet
[01:44.11]Lie there lie there loving Henry Lee
[01:49.27]Till the flesh drops from your bones
[01:53.97]The girl you have in that merry green land
[01:58.97]Still waits for your return"
[02:05.29]"Fly down fly down you little bird
[02:10.10]And alight on my right knee
[02:16.21]Your cage will be of purest gold
[02:21.04]In deed of property"
[02:25.92]"I can't fly down or I won't fly down
[02:30.62]And alight on your right knee
[02:35.10]A girl would murder her own true love
[02:40.23]Would kill a little bird like me"
[02:46.12]"If I had my bend and bow
[02:51.23]My arrow and my string
[02:56.31]I'd pierce a dart so nigh your heart your
[03:01.39]Wobble would be in vain"
[03:05.97]"If you had your bend and bow
[03:10.39]Your arrow and your string
[03:15.41]I'd fly away to the merry green land
[03:20.08]And tell what I have seen"
