[E] [Am]
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night [Dm] with me
You won't find a girl [Dm] in this damn world
That will compare [Am] with me
[G] Winded howl, winded blow
[C] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, [Am] la, la, la, la, Lee
A [Dm] little bird will get down on Henry [Am] Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night [Dm] with me
[Dm]
The girl I had in that merry Greenland I loved fair better than [Am] thee
And [G] the wind did howl and the wind did blow [C] La la la la [Am] la la la la la la lee
[Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee She leaned herself against a fence just for a kiss or [Dm] two
And with a little [D] penknife held in her hand Well she plugged him through and through
[G] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [C]
La la la la la [Am] la la la la la lee
[Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee
Come take him by his lily white hands Come take him by [Dm] his feet
[Dm] And throw him in this deep, deep well A small [A] hundred [Am]
feet
[G] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [C]
La la la la la la [Am] la la la lee
[Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your [Dm]
bones
[Dm] For the girl you have in that merry Greenland Can wait forever for you to come [Am]
home
[G] And the wind did howl and the wind did blow [C] La la la [Am] la la la la la la lee
[Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee
[C] La la la la [Am] la la la la lee [Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee
[C] La la la la la la la [Am] la lee [Dm] A little birdie looked down on Henry [Am] Lee
[B] [C] La la la la la [Am] la la la lee A [Dm] little birdie looked down on Henry Lee
