sleep well, honey

sleep well, honey

get down, get down little Henry Lee
and stay all night with me
you won´t find a girl in this damned world
that will compare with me

and the wind did howl and the wind did blow
lalalala, lalalalee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can´t get down and I won´t get down
and stay allnight with thee
for the girl I have in that merry green land
I love her much better than thee
...
she leaned herself against a fence
just for a kiss or two
and with a little penknife, held in her hand
well she plugged him through and through
...
come take him by his lilly white hands
come take him by his feet
and throw him down this deep, deep well
which is more than one hundred feet
...
lie there, lie there little henry Lee
till the flesh drops from your bones
for the girl you have in that merry green land
can wait forever for you to come home

and the wind did howl and the wind did blow
lalalalala lalalalalee a little bird lit down on henry lee
