Don't Ya Tell Henry Songtext
von Levon Helm

Well, I went down town
The other day, I was looking around just to see what I could see
I spied a little chicken, a-down on her knees
I went up and yelled to her
"Please, please, please!"

He told me, don′t ya tell Henry
He told me, don't ya tell Henry
He told me, don′t ya tell Henry
Apple's got your fly


I got down to the deanery at half past twelve
A looking around just to see myself
I looked high and low, I looked up above
But who did I see, but the one I love

She told me, don't ya tell Henry
She cried, don′t ya tell Henry
She told me, don′t ya tell Henry
Apple's got your fly

Well, I eased on down through the house of blue lights
A looking around, I was out of sight
I saw me a hob, and i saw me a mule
I looked for a cow and I saw me a few

They told me, don′t ya tell Henry
They told me, don't ya tell Henry
They told me, don′t ya tell Henry
Apple's got your fly
