paroles de chanson Henry Lee - PJ Harvey , Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

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

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 fair 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
Well, 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 lily-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep, deep well
That's 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
'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

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

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
