Henry Lee(feat Pj Harvey Lyrics

Henry Lee(feat Pj Harvey 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
