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 The wind did howl And the wind did blow La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee I can't get down and I won't get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have, in that merry green land I love fair 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 lit down on Henry Lee She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife 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 lit 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 lit down on Henry Lee Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee 'Til 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 lit down on Henry Lee La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee La-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
