Let never a man a wooing wend
That lacketh things three
A store of gold, an open heart
And full of charity;
And this was seen of King Henry
Though he lay quite 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 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 grisly ghost
Stramping on the floor
That lacketh things three
A store of gold, an open heart
And full of charity;
And this was seen of King Henry
Though he lay quite 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 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 grisly ghost
Stramping on the floor
