 Rate Henry Lee (Nick Cave Version)
Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Song : Henry Lee (Nick Cave version)
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
