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