Don't Ya Tell Henry

Yes, I went down to the river on a Saturday morn

I was lookin' around just to see who is born

I found a little chicken, down on his knees

I went up and yelled to him, "Please, please, please"

She said, "Don't ya tell, Henry, don't ya tell, Henry

Don't ya tell, Henry, Apple's got your fly"

Yes, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve

I was lookin' around, just to see myself

I looked high an' low an' I looked above

But who did I see but the one I love

She said, "Now, don't ya tell, Henry, don't ya tell, Henry

Don't ya tell, Henry, Apple's got your fly"

Yeah, I went down to the ... house the other night

I was lookin' around, I was outta sight

I looked at that horse an' a snoring mule

I looked for a cow and I saw me a few

They said, "Don't ya tell, Henry, don't ya tell, Henry

Don't ya tell, Henry, Apple's got your fly"

Yeah, I went down to the river on a Saturday morn

I lookin' around just to see who was born

I found a little chicken, a-down on his knees

I went up and yelled to him, "Please, please, please"

She said, "Don't ya tell, Henry, don't ya tell Henry

Don't ya tell Henry, Apple's got your fly"
