Bob Dylan - Love Henry - Remastered Lyrics

"And stay all night with me.
I have gold chains, and the finest I have
I'll apply them all to thee."

Or stay all night with thee.
Some pretty little girl in Cornersville
I love far better than thee."

Kisses she gave him three.
With a penny knife that she held in her hand
She murdered mortal he.

Instrumental

"Get well, get well," said she.
"Oh don't you see my own heart's blood
Come flowin' down so free?"

And also by his feet.
She plunged him into well water, where
It runs both cold and deep.

"Til the flesh rots off your bones.
Some pretty little girl in Cornersville
Will mourn for your return."

Instrumental

"And light on my right knee.
The doors to your cage shall be decked with gold
And hung on a willow tree."

And light on your right knee.
A girl who would murder her own true love
Would kill a little birdlike me."
