Patrice,
I know two versions of this song. The more pleasant one was recorded by The Weavers and is called
"Around the Corner (beneath the berry tree)"
This missing name is Henry Lee.

The other version is about a girl named Emily, sung with the syllables stretched out E-mi-ly so it sounds almost like "Emmy Lee". It ends with the singer killing Emily under the bitter berry tree where they were supposed to meet.

The Weavers version is sort of sad (Henry Lee never shows up) but it has a cute chipper tune with lots of orchestration and it's not gory like the other one.

hth,
jenney
