Dont Ya Tell Henry

E 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!" E He said, "Don't ya tell Henry, A Don't ya tell Henry, B7 Don't ya tell Henry, N.C. E Apple's got your fly" E 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. A She said, "Don't ya tell Henry, E Don't ya tell Henry, B Don't ya tell Henry, A N.C. E Apple's got your fly" E Now, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve, E A-lookin' around just to see myself. A I spotted a horse and a donkey, too, E I looked for a cow and I saw me a few. A They said, "Don't ya tell Henry, E Don't ya tell Henry, B Don't ya tell Henry, A N.C. E Apple's got your fly" E Now, I went down to the whorehouse the other night, E A-lookin' around, it was outa sight. A I looked high and low for that big ol' tree, E I did go upstairs but I didn't see nobody but me. A I said, "Don't ya tell Henry, E Don't ya tell Henry, B Don't ya tell Henry, A N.C. E Apple's got your fly"
