Classic Poem

" Where have you been all day, Henry my son,
Where have you been all day, my beloved one? "
" In the fields, dear mother, in the fields, dear mother,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down."

" Where did you see your father, Henry my son,
Where did you see your father, my beloved one?"
" In the fields, dear mother, in the fields, dear mother,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down."

" What did your father give you, Henry my son,
What did your father give you, my beloved one?"
" Water, dear mother, water, dear mother,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down."

" What shall I give your father, Henry my son,
What shall I give your father, my beloved one?"
" A rope to hang him, a rope to hang him,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down."

" Where shall I make your bed, Henry my son,
Where shall I make your bed, my beloved one?"
" In the churchyard, dear mother, in the churchyard, dear mother,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down."

" How shall I make your bed, Henry my son,
How shall I make your bed, my beloved one?"
" Long and narrow, long and narrow,
Make my bed for I'm afraid in my heart,
And I want to lie down — for ever."
