Henry Lee

Lyrics

[Verse 1: PJ Harvey] 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 [Pre-Chorus: PJ Harvey & Nick Cave] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] La, la-la-la-la La, la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee [Verse 2: Nick Cave] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] La, la-la-la-la La, la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee [Verse 3: Nick Cave] 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 through and through [Pre-Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] And the wind did roar and the wind did moan [Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] La, la-la-la-la La, la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee [Verse 4: PJ Harvey] 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 [Pre-Chorus: PJ Harvey & Nick Cave] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] La, la-la-la-la La, la-la-la-lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee [Verse 5: PJ Harvey] Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee 'Til the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home [Pre-Chorus: PJ Harvey & Nick Cave] And the wind did howl and the wind did moan [Chorus: Nick Cave & PJ Harvey] 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
