Henry Lee (nick Cave Version) Lyrics

Henry Lee (nick Cave Version) 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
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
