Verse 

     Am        Em         Am   Em       Am       Em      F 
Lie down, lie down, love Henry Lee and stay with me this night 
Am               F                    Em 
You will have my candle and coal, my fire's burnin' bright 
                  Am 
My fire's burnin' bright 
  
   Am        Em      Am        Em       Am       Em         F 
I won't lie down, I can't lie down, and stay all night with thee 
Am                        F                  Em 
There's a lady ten times fairer than you in Barnard's Hall for me 
                      Am 
In Barnard's Hall for me 

      Am     Em        Am     Em      Am        Em       F 
He's leanin' o'er her soft pillow to give her a kiss so sweet 
         Am                    F                    Em 
But her little pen knife held keen and sharp, she's wounded him full deep 
                       Am 
She's wounded him full deep 

     Am        Em      Am      Em       Am     Em      F 
Oh I will lie down, I must lie down, I welcome it said he 
Am                 F                     Em 
There's no lady in Barnard's Hall that I love better than thee 
                         Am 
I love more better than thee 

     Am      Em     Am          Em        Am          Em     F 
She took him by his long yellow hair, she dragged him by his feet, 
    Am                 F                  Em 
She threw him down a cold dark well some fifty fathoms deep 
                     Am 
A full fifty fathoms deep 

     Am       Em        Am            Em        Am    Em      F 
Lie down, lie down, you pretty little bird, lie down along my knee 
    Am                        F                   Em 
No one who would murder their own true love would kill a little bird like me 
                              Am 
Would kill a little bird like me 

Am    Em        Am      Em        Am    Em       F 
Cupid with your bending bow, your arrow and your string 
    Am                  F                      Em 
I'd shoot my love right through their heart so they no longer sing 
                  Am 
So they no longer sing 

   Am      Em       Am      Em        Am    Em       F 
I wish you had your bending bow, Your arrow and your string! 
    Am             F                     Em 
I'd fly on back to Barnard's Hall, you'd always hear me sing 
                     Am 
You'd always hear me sing! 
    Am             F                     Em 
I'd fly on back to Barnard's Hall, you'd always hear me sing 
                     Am 
You'd always hear me sing!
