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 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 far 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
|
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 lilly-white hands
|
Come take him by his feet
|
And throw him in this deep deep well
|
Which is 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
|
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 lit down on Henry Lee
|
