Let never a man a wooing wend
That lacketh thinges three
A store of
gold, an oaken heart,
And full of charity
And this was seen of King Henry
And he likewise 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 the 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 grisley ghost
Stamping 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 from Hell
Some meat, some meat
Yo 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 flesh and bone
Left nothing but hide and hair
More meat, more meat
Yo
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 greyhound
It made his heart full
sore
For she's eaten up, both flesh and bone
Left nothing but hide and
hair
More meat, more meat
Yo King Henry more meat you give to me
Go fell your
gosshawks King Henry,
And bring them here to me
And when he's slain his gay
gosshawks
It made his heart full sore
For she's eaten them up, both skin and
bone
Left nothing but feathers there
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 sewn up the bloody hide
And a pipe of wine put in
And she 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 over 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 said Kind Henry
That
ever the like betide
That ever a fiend that comes from Hell
Would stretch down
by my side
BREAK
When the night was gone and the day was come
And
the sun shone through the hall
The fairest lady that e'er was seen
Lay between him and the
wall
I've met with many a gentle knight
That gave gave me such a
fill
But never before with a courtious knight
That gave me all my
will
Child #32 known prior to 1790
Recorded by Steeleye Span on "Please to See the
King"
