[Verse 1]
Where have you been all day, Henry me son?
Where have you been all day, my beloved one?
Away on the meadow, away on the meadow
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Verse 2]
And what did you have to eat, Henry me son?
What did you have to eat, my beloved one?
Poison beans, poison beans
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Verse 3]
And what colour were those beans, Henry me son?
What colour were those beans, my beloved one?
Green and yellow, green and yellow
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
What will you leave your mother, Henry me son?
What will you leave your mother, my beloved one?
A woollen vest, a woollen vest
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Verse 5]
What will you leave your father, Henry me son?
What will you leave your father, my beloved one?
A watch and chain, a watch and chain
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Verse 6]
And what will you leave your brother, Henry me son?
What will you leave your brother, my beloved one?
A blue suit, a blue suit
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 7]
And what will you leave your children, Henry me son?
What will you leave your children, my beloved one?
The sun and moon, the sun and moon
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Verse 8]
And what will you leave your sweetheart, Henry me son?
What will you leave your sweetheart, my beloved one?
A rope to hang her, a rope to hang her
Make my bed I've a pain in me head, and I want to lie down
[Instrumental Outro]
