ฟังเพลงKing Henry

Let never a man a wooing wend

That lacketh things three

A store of gold and open heart

And full of charity

And this was seen of King Henry

Though he lay quite alone

For he's taken him to a haunted hall

Seven miles from the town

He's chased the deer now him before

And the doe down by the den

Till the fattest buck in all the flock

King Henry he has slain

His huntsmen followed him to the hall

To make them burly cheer

When loud the wind was heard to sound

And an earthquake rocked the floor

And darkness covered all the hall

Where they sat at their meat

The grey dogs yowling left their food

And crept to Henry's feet

And louder howled the rising wind

And burst the fastened door

And in there came a grisly ghost

Stramping on the floor

Her head hit the roof-tree of the house

Her middle you could not span

Each frightened huntsman fled the hall

And left the king alone

Her teeth were like the tether stakes

Her nose like club or mell

And nothing less she seemed to be

Than a fiend that comes form hell

Some meat some meat you King Henry

Some meat you give to me

Go kill your horse you King Henry

And bring him here to me

He's gone and slain his berry brown steed

Though it made his heart full sore

For she's eaten up both skin and bone

Left nothing but hide and hair

More meat more meat you King Henry

More meat you give to me

Go Kill your greyhounds King Henry

And bring them here to me

And when he's slain his good greyhounds

It made his heart full sore

She's eaten them up both skin and bone

Left nothing but hide and hair

More meat more meat you King Henry

More meat you give to me

Go fell your goshawks King Henry

And bring them here to me

And when he's slain his gay goshawks

It made his heart full sore

She's eaten them up both skin and bone

Left nothing but feathers bare

Some drink some drink now King Henry

Some drink you give to me

Oh you sew up your horse's hide

And bring in a drink to me

And he's sewed up the bloody hide

And a pipe of wine put in

And she's drank it up all in one draught

Left never a drop therein

A bed a bed now King Henry

A bed you'll make for me

Oh you must pull the heather green

And make it soft for me

And pulled has he the heather green

And made for her a bed

And taken has he his gay mantle

And o'er it he has spread

Take off your clothes now King Henry

And lie down by my side

Now swear now swear you King Henry

To take me for your bride

Oh God forbid says King Henry

That ever the like betide

That ever a fiend that comes from hell

Should stretch down by my side

When the night was gone and the day was come

And the sun shone through the hall

The fairest lady that ever was seen

Lay between him and the wall

I've met with many a gentle knight

That gave me such a fill

But never before with a courteous knight

That gave me all my will
