1
Get down, get down little Henry Lee
2
And stay all night with me
3
You won't find a girl in this damn world
4
That will compare with me
5
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
6
La la la la la, la la la la lee
7
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
8
I can't get down and I won't get down
9
And stay all night with thee
10
For the girl I have in that merry green land
11
I love far better than thee
12
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
13
La la la la la, la la la la lee
14
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
15
She leaned herself against a fence
16
Just for a kiss or two
17
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
18
Where she plugged him through and through
19
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
20
La la la la la, la la la la lee
21
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
22
Come take him by his lily white hands
23
Come take him by his feet
24
And throw him in this deep, deep well
25
It's more than one hundred feet
26
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
27
La la la la la, la la la la lee
28
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
29
Lie there, lie there little Henry Lee
30
Till the flesh drops from your bones
31
For the girl you have in that merry green land
32
Can wait forever for you to come home
33
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
34
La la la la la, la la la la lee
35
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
36
La la la la la, la la la la lee
37
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
38
La la la la la, la la la la lee
39
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
40
La la la la la, la la la la lee
41
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
