Love Henry Lyrics - Living & The Dead - Jolie Holland

Get down, get down love Henry, she cried 

And stay all night with me 

I have gold chains and the finest I have 

I'll apply them all to thee 

I can't get down and I won't get down 

And stay all night with you 

There's a pretty little girl in Cornersville 

I love far better than you 

She layed his head on a pillow of down 

And kisses, gave him three 

With a penny knife, she held in her hand 

She murdered mortal he 

Get well, get well love Henry, she cried 

Get well, get well said she 

Oh, don't you see my own heart's blood 

Come flowing down so free?

She took him by his long yellow hair 

And also at the knee 

She plunged him into well water where 

It runs both cold and deep 

Lie there, lie there love Henry, she cried 

Till the flesh rots off your bones 

Some pretty little girl in Cornersville 

Will mourn for your return 

Hush up, hush up my parrot, she cried 

Don't tell any tales on me 

These costly beads around my neck 

I'll apply them all to thee 

I won't fly down and I can't fly down 

And light on your right knee 

A girl who'd murdered her own true love 

Would kill a little bird like me

Fly down, fly down oh parrot, she cried 

And light on my right knee 

The doors to your cage shall be decked with gold
