" she cried
141 "Get well, get well,
" said she
142 "Oh don't you see my own heart's blood
143 Come flowin' down so free ?
"
146 She took him by his long yellow hair
148 She plunged him into well water, where
149 It runs both cold and deep.
152 "Lie there, lie there, Love Henry,
" she cried
153 "'Til the flesh rots off your bones
154 Some pretty little girl in Cornersville
155 Will mourn for your return.
"
158 "Hush up, hush up, my parrot,
" she cried
159 "Don't tell no news on me
160 Or these costly beads around my neck
161 I'll apply them all to thee.
"
164 "Fly down, fly down pretty bird,
" she cried
165 "And light on my right knee
166 The doors to your cage shall be decked with gold
167 And hung on a willow tree.
"
170 "I won't fly down, I can't fly down
171 And light on your right knee
172 A girl who would murder her own true love
173 Would kill a little bird like me.
