Lie
[Em] [E]
down, lie down, love Henry Lee And stay with me this night
You [G] will have my candle and coal My fire's burning bright
[Em] My [B] fire's burning [Em] bright
I won't lie down, I can't lie down And stay all night [F#] with thee
[G] There's a lady ten times fairer than [D] you And [Bm] Barnard's all for me
And Barnard's [Em] all for me
He's leaning on her soft pillow To give her a kiss [F#m] so sweet
[G] But her little penknife is clean and [D] sharp She's wounded him [Bm] full deep
She's wounded him [Em] full deep
Oh, I will lie down, I must lie down Welcome and [F#m] set [G] hee
There's no lady in [D] Barnard's hall That I love better [Bm] than thee
I love more better [E] than thee
[B]
[Em] Oh, lift my [E] lung, Lord Henry, she said For I want you [F#m] free
[D] And all the cards about my waist I'd freely give [Bm] to thee
I'd freely give [E] to thee
Oh, all them cards about your waist Would do no good for [F#m] me
[G] Love, don't you see my own [D] car's flash Come twinkling at [Bm] my knee
Come twinkling at [E] my knee
[Em] She took him by his long yellow hair [E] She dragged him by [A] his feet
She [G] threw him down a cold, dark [D] well Some fifty fathoms [B] deep
A full fifty [E] fathoms [Em] deep
[F#m] [G]
[D]
[Bm]
[E]
[A] [G] Lie down, lie down, you pretty little bird Lie down on [F#m] [C#] me
[Em] No girl that would murder her, oh, [D] true love Would kill a little bird [B] like me
Would kill a little [Em] bird like me
Oh, I wish I had that bending bow My arrow [F#m] and my string
[G] Shoot my dart right through your [A] heart So you'd no longer [F#] sing
So you'd no longer [Em] sing
I
[E] wish you had your bending bow
Your arrow and your string
[Em]
[G] I'd fly on back to [D] Bonners Hall You'd always hear [Bm] me sing
You'd always [Em] hear me sing
[F#m] [G] I'd fly on back to Bonners Hall [D] You'd always [Bm] hear me sing
You'd always [E] hear me sing
[Em]
