A minorAm                              DmDm
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee, and stay all night with me
DmDm                               A minorAm
You won't find a girl in this damn world that will compare with me

G+G               G7G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow

I can't get down, and I won't get down, and stay all night with thee
DmDm                                  A minorAm
For the girl I have in that merry green land, I love far better than thee

  A minorAm                         DmDm
She leaned herself against a fence, just for a kiss or two
DmDm                                      A minorAm
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand, she plugged him through and through

And the wind did howl and the wind did blow

Verse 4: (PJ)

   A minorAm                            DmDm
Come take him by his lilly-white hands, xome take him by his feet
DmDm                                  A minorAm
And throw him in this deep deep well, which is more than one hundred feet

G+G               G7G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C majorC        A minorAm         DmDm           A minorAm
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Verse 5: (PJ)

A minorAm                                   DmDm
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee, till the flesh drops from your bones
DmDm                                        A minorAm
For the girl you have in that merry green land, can wait forever for you to come home

G+G               G7G7
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
C majorC        A minorAm         DmDm           A minorAm
La la la la la, la la la la lee, a little bird lit down on Henry Lee
C majorC        A minorAm         DmDm           A minorAm
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
