Henry Lee

arrangement/additional lyrics by Nick Cave

from the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Murder Ballads

INTRO: Am

Am

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee

Dm

And stay all night with me

Dm

You won't find a girl in this damn world

Am

That will compare with me

CHORUS:

G

The wind did howl, and the wind did blow

C Am

La la la la la, la la la la lee

Dm Am

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 fair better than thee

CHORUS

She leaned herself against a fence

Just for a kiss or two

And with a little pen knife held in her hand

Well she plugged him thru and thru

CHORUS

Come take him by his lilly white hands

Come take him by his feet

And throw him in this deep deep well

That's more than one hundred feet

CHORUS

Lie there lie there little Henry Lee

'Til the flesh drops from your bones

For the girl you have in that merry green

Can wait forever for you to come home

CHORUS

C Am

La la la la la, la la la la lee

Dm Am

A little bird lit down on Henry Lee....
