Don't ya tell Henry,

Apple's got your fly.

I went down to the river on a Saturday morn,
|
|
A-lookin' around just to see who's born.
|
|
I found a little chicken down on his knees,
|
|
I went up and yelled to him,"Please, please, please!"
|
|
He said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
|
A
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
B7
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
(n.c.) E (turnaround)
|
Apple's got your fly."
|
|
E
|
I went down to the corner at a-half past ten,
|
|
I's lookin' around, I wouldn't say when.
|
|
I looked down low, I looked above,
|
|
And who did I see but the one I love.
|
A
|
She said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
|
E
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
B
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
A (n.c.) E
|
Apple's got your fly."
|
|
E
|
Now, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve,
|
|
A-lookin' around just to see myself.
|
A
|
I spotted a horse and a donkey, too,
|
E
|
I looked for a cow and I saw me a few.
|
A
|
They said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
|
E
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
B
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
A (n.c.) E
|
Apple's got your fly."
|
|
Now, I went down to the pumphouse the other night,
|
A-lookin' around, it was outa sight.
|
I looked high and low for that big ol' tree,
|
I did go upstairs but I didn't see nobody but me.
|
I said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
Don't ya tell Henry,
|
Apple's got your fly."
