My Own Darling Boy (Henry my Son)- sung W. Gulliver of Hampshire. Collected by Gardiner, G.B about 1907.
What will ye leave your father, my own darling boy
What will you leave your father, my comfort and joy
I'll leave him my riches, mother, make my bed soon,
For I've a pain in my heart and I want to lay down.
What will you leave your mother, my own darling boy
What will you leave your mother, my comfort and joy
I'll leave her my watch, mother, make my bed soon,
For I've a pain in my heart and I want to lay down.
What will you leave your brother. . .
