A Round the Corner (Beneath the Berry Tree) |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| A-long the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| A-long the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
| (A-round the corner ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) |
| Tonight all the folks will cut the corn |
| (Cut the corn) |
| Tonight I’ll be glad that I was born |
| (I was born) |
| For my Henry Lee I’ll see |
| He’ll be cuttin' corn with me |
| And we’ll meet 'neath the bitter berry tree |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| A-long the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
| (A-round the corner ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) |
| Tonight all the stars are shining bright |
| (Shining Bright) |
| Tonight all the cornfields are a sight |
| (Are a Sight) |
| I have reached the meeting spot |
| But my Henry Lee has not |
| And I wonder can it be that he forgot |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| A-long the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
| (A-round the corner ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) |
| Tonight as the moon begins to sink |
| (Begins to sink) |
| Tonight there are footsteps that I think |
| (Which I think) |
| Will at last bring him to me |
| My beloved Henry Lee |
| But I don’t see why so late he has to be |
| Oh Henry Lee why did you make me wait |
| (Make me wait) |
| I’m late 'cos I had another date |
| (Another date) |
| It was plain for me to see |
| He’d been keepin' company |
| With another girl beneath another tree |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| Here on the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
| (A-round the corner ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) |
| I told my Henry Lee to go away |
| (Far away) |
| But now I’m sad because he didn’t stay |
| (Didn't stay) |
| And tonight in case that he |
| Might come searchin' round for me |
| I’ll be sittin' 'neath the bitter berry tree. |
| A-round the corner, ooh-ooh, |
| Beneath the berry tree |
| Here on the footpath, behind the bush |
| Looking for Henry Lee. |
