Em 
Come in, Come in, my love Henry, 
          G                   D 
Won't you stay all night with me, 
Em            D    Em        G 
And you shall have all of my gold, 
                  Em 
My fire's burning bright, 
D           Em      D Em 
Ooo burning bright. 
 
Em 
Well I won't come in, no I won't come in 
     G                   D 
Nor stay all night with you, 
Em          D      Em     G 
For I've a girl in Cornersville 
                              Em 
And I love her far better than you 
D                     Em   D Em 
Oh Oh far better than you 
 
Em 
But he did lay his head on a pillow of down. 
     G                   D 
And kisses she gave him three. 
Em                D              Em          G 
And with a little pen knife, she held in her hand 
                              Em 
Oh she murdered him so cruelly 
D           Em   D Em 
Oh so cruelly 
 
Em 
Then it was live o live my love Henry 
G                     D 
For an hour or two or three 
Em           D      Em          G 
Oh can't you see my own heart's blood 
                              Em 
It comes trickling down so free 
D        Em   D Em 
Oh Oh so free. 
 
Em 
So she took him by his long yellow hair 
G                D 
Then also by his feet, 
Em                    D      Em         G 
And she's thrown him in her cruel cruel well 
                       Em 
It was fifty fathoms deep, 
D                  Em   D Em 
Oh, fifty fathoms deep. 
 
Em 
Saying lie there, lie there, my love Henry, 
G                             D 
Till the flesh rots from your bones; 
Em           D      Em       G 
Some pretty girl in Cornersville 
                       Em 
May now mourn for your return 
D               Em   D Em 
Oh for your return. 
 
Em 
Fly down, fly down, pretty Polly said she, 
G                       D 
Don't tell any tales on me 
Em                 D         Em     G 
And I'll deck your cage with purest gold 
                               Em 
And I'll hang it on yon willow tree 
D             Em   D Em 
Oh Yon willow tree 
 
Em 
Well I won't fly down, no I won't fly down 
G                      D 
I won't fly down said she, 
Em                D          Em       G 
“For a girl who'd murder her own true love 
                               Em 
Oh she'd k*ll a little bird like me, 
D                     Em   D Em 
Oh a little bird like me." 
 
Em 
Well then if I had my arrow and my dart 
G             D 
My bow and my sling 
Em          D          Em           G 
I'd shoot a dart right through your heart 
                           Em 
And you never more would sing 
D                       Em   D Em 
Oh you never more would sing 
 
Em 
Come in, Come in, my love Henry, 
          G                   D 
Won't you stay all night with me, 
Em            D    Em        G 
And you shall have all of my gold, 
                  Em 
My fire's burning bright, 
D           Em      D Em 
Ooo burning bright.
