(Am Am)Get down, get down, little Henry Lee 
And (A7 A7)stay all night with (Dm Dm)me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That (G G)will compare with (Am Am)me

Chorus:
And the (E E)wind did howl and the (G G)wind did blow
(C C)La la la la la
(Am Am) La la la la lee
A A (Dm Dm)little bird lit down on He(C C)nry (Am Am)Lee

(Am Am)I can't get down and I won't get down
And (A7 A7)stay all night with (Dm Dm)thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I (G G)love far better than (Am Am)thee

Chorus

(Am Am)She leaned herself against a fence
Just (A7 A7)for a kiss or (Dm Dm)two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She (G G)plugged him through and (Am Am)through

Chorus

(Am Am)Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come (A7 A7)take him by his (Dm Dm)feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is (G G)more than one hundred (Am Am)feet

Chorus

(Am Am)Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the (A7 A7)flesh drops from your (Dm Dm)bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait (G G)forever for you to come (Am Am)home

Chorus
