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

[00:00:00] Written by：R. Gould

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:27] In almost every family

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:55] Like a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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