Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Where have you been all day Henry me son
Where have you been all day my beloved on
Away in the meadow Away in the meadow
Make my bed I’ve a pain in me head
And I want to lie down
And what did you have to eat Henry me son
And what did you have to eat, my beloved one
Poison beads Poison beads
Make my bed I’ve a pain in me head
And I want to lie down
And what will you leave your mother Henry me son
And what will you leave your mother, my beloved one
A woolen blanket, a woolen blanket
Make my bed I’ve a pain in me head
And I want to lie down
And what will you leave you children Henry me son
And what will you leave you children my beloved one
The keys to heaven
The keys to heaven
Make my bed I’ve a pain in me head
And I want to lie down
And what will you leave your sweetheart Henry me son
And 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
