Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds lyrics : "henry lee"

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

Where 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 lily white hands

Come take him by his feet


And throw him in this deep, deep well


It'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




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
