_ [F#m] Light down, light down, love Henry Lee And stay with me [D#] this [F#] night
You will have my [F#m] candle and coal My fire's burning bright
_ My fire's burning bright I won't light down, I can't light down
No, I still _ _ There's a lady ten times fairer than you
And Lord Barnet's all for me And Lord Barnet's all for me
He's leaned him on her soft pillow But a gift is so sweet
With her little penknife held keen and sure She's wounded him fully
_ _ She's wounded him fully I will light down, I must light down _
I will come and say There is no lady in Barnet's Hall
That I love more better than thee _ I love more better than thee
_ Oh, live my love, Lord Henry, she said For an hour or two or three _ _ about my waist
I'd freely give to thee _ I'd freely give to thee
All them cards about your waist They do no good to me
Love, don't you see my own heart's flood Come twinkling at my knee
Come twinkling at my knee She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ took him by his long yellow hair
She dragged him [F#] by his feet [F#m] She threw him down her cold raw well
Oh, fifty-thousand feet _ Oh, fifty-thousand feet
_ Lie there, lie there, you Henry [F#] Lee I know you, _ [F#m] that lady ten times fairer than me
She'll never see you again _ _ She'll never see you again _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Light down, light down, you pretty little bird Light down, _ light down, you pretty little bird
No other girl [F#] who'd murder her own true love Would kill a little bird like me
_ Would kill a little bird like me I wished I had my bending bow
My arrow, my string I'd shoot my dart so nigh your heart
That you'd no longer sing _ _ You'd no longer sing
_ _ I wished you had your bending bow _ Your arrow, _ _ your string
I'd shoot my dart so nigh your heart That you'd no longer sing _ _
You'd always hear me sing _ _ _ _ _
