It happened on one evening late. As the maid was going to bed. She heard a sound a beautiful sound. That made her heart feel glad.. . She thought it was her brother John. Returning from the cane;. But who should it be but Lord Henry. Just from his wild hunting.. . "Get down get down Lord Henry. And stay all night with me;. For the very best lodging in Mulveren Town. The best I'll give to thee.". . "I won't get down I shan't get down. To stay all night with you;. For there's a prettier girl in the merry green lands. That I love much better than you.". . As he leaned o'er his milk-white steed. And kisses gave her three. She held up a knife in her right hand. And pierced him heartily.. . "O live O live Lord Henry. Half an hour or more;. For the very best doctors in Mulveren Town. You'll soon be in their care.". . "O live O live how can I live. How can I live you see. When l can feel my own heart's blood. Come trinkling o'er my knee?". . She called her waiting maids unto her. To view his body so fair. Saying "Of all this finery you see around here. The finest you shall wear.". . Some took him by his curly locks. Some by his hands and feet. And threw him in the cold dark well. Which was both cold and deep. . "Lie there lie there Lord Henry. Till the flesh rots off your bones!. That prettier girl in the merry green lands. Shall mourn for your return.". . There was a pretty parrot bird. Sitting high upon a limb. Saying "You murdered Lord Henry. And in the well threw him.". . "Come down come down my pretty parrot bird. And sit on my right knee;. Your cage shall be the finest gold. And the door of ivory.". . "I won't come down I shan't come down. To sit on your right knee;. For you have murdered Lord Henry. And soon you'd murder me". . "I wish I had my bended bow. My arrow and my string;. I'd pierce a dart so close your heart. Those notes no more you'd sing.". . "O if you had your bended bow. Your arrow and your string. I'd take my flight to the merry green lands. And tell what I'd seen.".
