Henry Lee - Nick Cave

1.
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.
Ref1
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.
2.
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.
Ref2
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.
3.
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.
Ref3
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.
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee.
