HENRY’S BODY IS BURIED

©1990 – music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

Well They say Henry’s body lies in that grave

Well they say Henry’s body cannot be saved

Well they say Henry’s body lies to my surprise in that cold dark grave

(Chorus:)

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say

That’s what they say ay ay

Well they say Henry’s body is twelve feet down

Well they say Henry’s body don’t make no sound

Well they say Henry’s body’s there just a lyin in that ground

Ahhh, ahhh

Well they say Lizza’s lyin’ there a weepin so

Well they say Lizza doesn’t know where to go

Well they say Lizza’s lyin’ there sayin’ to beware today

(Chorus)

Well they say Henry’s body is twelve feet down

Well they say Henry’s body don’t make no sound

Well they say Henry’s bodies there just a lyin in that ground

Henry’s dead

Henry’s dead

Poor Henry

Well They say Henry’s body lies in that grave

Well they say Henry’s body cannot be saved

Well they say Henry’s body lies to my surprise in that cold dark grave

In that cold dark grave
