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
"Pleasepleaseplease!"
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 aroundI wouldn t say when.
I looked down lowI 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."
NowI went down to the beanery at half past twelve
A-lookin around just to see myself.
I spotted a horse and a donkeytoo
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."
NowI went down to the pumphouse the other night
A-lookin aroundit 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."
