Don't ya tell Henry
Apple's got your fly.


I went down to the river on a saturday morn
A-lookin' around just to see who's born

I found a little chicken down on his knees
I went up and yelled to him
"Please, please, please"

He said, "Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry

Apple's got your fly".

I went down to the corner at a-half past ten

I's lookin' around, I wouldn't say when
I looked down low, I looked above
And who did I see but the one I love

She said, "Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry

Apple's got your fly".

Now, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve

A-lookin' around just to see myself
I spotted a horse and a donkey too
I looked for a cow and I saw me a few

The said, "Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry

Apple's got your fly".

Now, I went down to the pumphouse the other night

A-lookin around, it was outa sight
I looked high and low for that big ol' tree
I did go upstairs but I didn't see nobody but me

I said, "Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry
Don't ya tell Henry

Apple's got your fly".
