Henry Lee

Get down, get down little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me

And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee

I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl that I have in that merry green land
I love her better than thee

And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee

She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little penknife held in her hand
Well she plugged him through and through

And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lily white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep, deep well
That's more than one hundred feet

And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home

And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee

La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee
La la la la la la la la la lee
A little bird looked down on Henry Lee
