Henry My Son (Live) - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]

Written by：R. Gould[00:00:00]

You know it may seem hard to imagine[00:00:00]

But once upon a time people didn't have[00:00:02]

Any such thing as television[00:00:03]

Didn't have any radios[00:00:07]

And if you wanted to have any music[00:00:09]

You just had to make it yourself[00:00:11]

It was only the kings and queens[00:00:13]

That could afford to have somebody else make music for them[00:00:15]

And you might not think it would be very good music[00:00:20]

Everybody making their own music[00:00:22]

But you'd be surprised[00:00:24]

In almost every family[00:00:27]

It seemed like there'd be somebody who could sing a song[00:00:28]

Or tell a story or tell a joke or something[00:00:31]

And in the evening they'd crowd around the fire[00:00:35]

May be so keep warm[00:00:38]

One man told me he learned how to play the fiddle[00:00:40]

Because he noticed the fiddler[00:00:42]

Always got to stand nearest to the fire[00:00:43]

So he decided that if he wants to stay warm[00:00:47]

He better learn how to play the fiddle[00:00:48]

And they'd sing these old ballads you know[00:00:53]

Like a[00:00:55]

Where have you been all the day randall my son[00:00:56]

Where have you been all the day my pretty one[00:01:01]

I've been to my sweetheart mother[00:01:05]

I've been to my sweetheart mother[00:01:09]

Mother make my bed soon for I'm sick to my heart[00:01:14]

And I fain would lie down[00:01:20]

That's an old old song very sad one[00:01:24]

But I met a fellow last november over in england[00:01:27]

And he said he knew it a different way[00:01:31]

Everybody knows these songs different ways it seems[00:01:33]

He says when he was a kid all the all[00:01:35]

The kids used to sing it[00:01:38]

Where have you been all the day henry my boy[00:01:40]

Where have you been all the day my pride and joy[00:01:43]

In the woods dear mother[00:01:49]

In the woods dear mother[00:01:51]

What did you do in the woods all day henry my son[00:01:59]

What did you do in the woods all day my pretty one[00:02:04]

Ate dear mother[00:02:12]
