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
