1. "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."
2. "I can't get down and I shan't get down,
Or stay all night with thee.
Some pretty little girl in Cornersville

Kisses she gave him three.

Instrumental

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