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 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 |
