Song title: Bob Dylan - Love Henry

Edit By: 216.73.216.79

1. get down, get down, love henry, she cried.
And stay all night with me.
I have gold chains, and the finest I have
Ill apply them all to thee.

2. I cant get down and I shant get down,
Or stay all night with thee.
Some pretty little girl in cornersville
I love far better than thee.

3. he layed his head on a pillow of down.
Kisses she gave him three.
With a penny knife that she held in her hand
She murdered mortal he.

Instrumental

4. get well, get well, love henry, she cried,
Get well, get well, said she.
Oh dont you see my own hearts blood
Come flowin down so free?

5. she took him by his long yellow hair,
And also by his feet.
She plunged him into well water, where
It runs both cold and deep.

6. lie there, lie there, love henry, she cried,
Til the flesh rots off your bones.
Some pretty little girl in cornersville
Will mourn for your return.

Instrumental

7. hush up, hush up, my parrot, she cried,
And light on my right knee.
The doors to your cage shall be decked with gold
And hung on a willow tree.

9. I wont fly down, I cant fly down
And light on your right knee.
A girl who would murder her own true love
Would kill a little birdlike me.
