| lyric | 1. Where have you been allday, Henry my son?
Away in the meadow.
Make my bed I’ve a pain in my head
And I want to lie down.
2. And what did you have to eat, Henry, my son?
What did you have to eat, my beloved one?
Poison beans, poison beans.
3. And what will you leave your mother, Henry, my son?
What will you leave your mother, my beloved one?
A wooling vest, a wooling vest.
4. And what will you leave your brother, Henry, my son?
What will you leave your brother, my beloved one?
A blue suit, a blue suit.
5. And what will you leave your father, Henry, my son?
What will you leave your father, my beloved one?
A watch and chain, a watch and chain.
6. And what will you leave your children, Henry, my son?
What will you leave your children, my beloved one?
The sun and moon, the sun and moon.
7. And what will you leave your sweetheart, Henry, my son?
What will you leave your sweetheart, my beloved one?
A rope to hang her, a rope to hang her. |
