Paragraph Lyric
(feat. 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
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
(feat. 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  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
