Crooked Still - Henry Lee lyrics

Lie down,lie down,love henry lee and stay with me this night You will have my candle and coal,my fire's burning bright My fire's burning bright! I won't lie down,i can't lie down and stay all night with you! There's a lady ten times fairer than you in barnards hall for me In barnards hall for me! He's leaning o'er her soft pillow to give her a kiss so sweet; But her little,thin knife held keen and sharp She's wounded him full(for?)Deep She's wounded him full(for?)Deep! Oh,i will lie down,i must lie down.i welcome it said he! There's no lady in barnards hall that i love better than thee! I love no better than thee! Well live my lord. Lord henry she said For an hour,two or three And all the cards about my waist i freely give to thee I'd freely give to thee! Well all them cards about your waist will do no good for me! Love don't you see my own cards flash(flesh?)Come twinkling at my knee Come twinkling at my knee! She took him by his long yellow hair She dragged him by his feet! She threw him down a cold Dark well some fifty fathoms deep For fifty fathoms deep! Lie down,lie down you pretty little bird Lie down along my knee No girl who would murder her own true love Would k** a little bird like me Would k** a little bird like me! Oh,i wished i had my bending bow,my arrow in my string! I'd shoot my dart right through your heart so you no longer sing So you no longer sing! I wished you had your bending bow Your arrow in your string! I'd fly on back to barnards hall You'd always hear me sing You'd always hear me sing! I'd fly on back to barnards hall You'd always hear me sing You'd always hear me sing!
