Judy Henske - Love Henry

Описание: Taken from an old record - I was so surprised not to find this particular song online, but unfortunately have no clue where/when the recording has been taken.

The lyrics she sings are quite different to most other interpretations I've ever heard; so in my understanding, they're as follows:

'Come in, come in, my love Henry,
stay with me this night,
and you shall have both candle and coal,
my fire burning bright,
my fire burning bright.'

'Well I won't come in, I can't come in,
I won't come in at all.
There's a lady ten times fairer than you
waiting in Lord Barnet's hall.'

And then he bended over her snowwhite pillow,
give her a kiss so sweet;
she drew a pen-knife in her hand,
wounded him full deep,
she wounded him full deep.

And then she picked him up by his long, yellow hair,
also by his feet.
She threw him in her cool draw well
full 50 fathoms deep.

'Lie there, lie there, love Henry,' then she cried,
'I know you will not swim.
That lady ten times fairer than me
will never see you again,
she'll never see you again.'

'Fly down, fly down, you pretty little bird,
light upon my knee.'
'I know a girl who killed her own heart's love
might hurt a little bird like me.'

'If I had my arrow in my hand,
bow on a tuneful string;
I'd shoot a dart straight through your heart,
you'd no longer sing,
and you'd no longer sing!'

'Come in, come in, my love Henry,
stay with me this night.
And you shall have both candle and coal,
my fire burning bright,
my fire burning bright.'
