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
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on henry lee
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on henry lee
