Don't Ya Tell Henry Lyrics - The Basement Tapes - Bob Dylan

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Apple's got your fly. 

I went down to the river on a Saturday morn, 

A-lookin' around just to see who's born. 

I found a little chicken down on his knees, 

I went up and yelled to him, 

"Please, please, please!" 

He said, "Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Apple's got your fly."

I went down to the corner at a-half past ten, 

I's lookin' around, I wouldn't say when. 

I looked down low, I looked above, 

And who did I see but the one I love. 

She said, "Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Apple's got your fly." 

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

A-lookin' around just to see myself. 

I spotted a horse and a donkey, too, 

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."

Now, I went down to the pumphouse the other night, 

A-lookin' around, it was outa sight. 

I looked high and low for that big ol' tree, 

I did go upstairs but I didn't see nobody but me. 

I said, "Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Don't ya tell Henry, 

Apple's got your fly."
