Cave Nick Henry Lee Lyrics

Henry Lee Lyrics

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
That's 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
