Verse 1
(D major) Get down, get (G major) down young Henry (D major) Lee
And stay (A major) (D major) the night (A major) with (D major) me
The very best lodging (G major) that I (D major) can afford
Will be a fair bed (A major) for (D major) thee
Well, (G major) can't get down and
I (D major) won't get down
And (G major) spend the night with thee
(D major) For the (G major) girl that I have in that merry (D major) grey land
I love (A major) far (D major) better than (A major) (D major) they
She leaned herself (G major) against (D major) the fence
Just for (A major) a (D major) kiss or two
With a little penknife (G major) held (D major) in her hand
She plugged (A major) him (D major) through and through
Come, (G major) all you ladies (D major) in the town
A secret (G major) for me, keep
(D major) For this (G major) diamond ring held (D major) in my hand
I never (A major) will (D major) (A major) for (D major) sake
Some take him by (G major) his lily (D major) -white hands
Some take (G major) him (D major) by his feet
We'll throw him (G major) in this deep, (D major) deep well,
More than (A major) one (D major) hun (A major) dred feet. (D major)
Lie there, (G major) lie there, young Henry, (D major) lay,
Till the (G major) flesh drops from your (D major) bones,
And the (G major) girl you have in that
merry (D major) green land
Will wait (A major) for your (D major) return
Fly down, fly (G major) down, (D major) you little bird
And lie (A major) on my (D major) (A major) right (D major) knee
Your cage will be (G major) of purest (D major) gold
Indeed, (A major) of (D major) ivory (A major) (D major)
Well, I (G major) can fly down, and I (D major) won't fly down
And lie (G major) on your right (D major) knee
For the (G major) girl who would murder
her (D major) own true love
Would (A major) kill a little (D major) boy like me
Oh, if I (G major) had my (D major) banded bow,
my (G major) arrow, (D major) and (A major) my (D major) string
I'd pierce a tart (G major) so near (D major) your heart
Your (A major) warble (D major) would be in vain
Well, (G major) if you had your (D major) banded bow
Your (G major) arrow and your string
(D major) I'd (G major) fly away to that merry (D major) Greenland
(D major) and (A major) tell what (D major) I have seen.
