Lyrics Around the Corner (Beneath the Berry Tree) - Pete Seeger, The Weavers

Around the Corner (Beneath the Berry Tree)

A-round the corner
Beneath the berry tree
A-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for Henry Lee
A-round the corner
Beneath the berry tree
A-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for Henry Lee
Instrumental
Tonight all the stars are shining bright
Tonight all the cornfields 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
Beneath the berry tree
A-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for Henry Lee
Tonight as the moon begins to shine
Tonight Henry Lee said he’d be mine
I would like to know my faith
But my Henry Lee is late
And I wonder could it be he changed his mind
A-round the corner (around the corner)
Beneath the berry tree (beneath the tree)
A-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for Henry Lee
I told my Henry Lee to go away
But now I’m sad he didn’t stay
And tomorrow night if he
Comes a looking round for me
I’ll be sittin' 'neath the bitter berry tree
A-round the corner
Beneath the berry tree
A-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for Henry Lee
Instrumental
Looking for Henry Lee
Instrumental
Looking for Henry Lee
Looking for Henry Lee
Looking for Henry Lee
Looking for Henry Lee
