The Foghorn Stringband - Henry Lee lyrics

rate me

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee

And stay all night with me

You won't find a girl in this damned world

That will compare with me

And the wind did howl en 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 ans 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
