the humble cheaters - the song of henry lee lyrics
[verse 1]
this is my story
henry lee’s the name
my life had no glory
and ingrid leven is to blame
i was k!lled by ingrid
for the love she couldn’t take
and i’m slowly rotting
under piccadilly lake
[refrain]
my heart was wild and burnin’
for the girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always be
waiting for me
[verse 2]
ingrid said, “henry
would you stay the night with me?”
i said, “no, ingrid
my heart belongs to mary lee”
she said, “but henry
would you give me but one kiss?”
when i leaned in, she
stabbed me in the pancreas
[refrain]
my heart was wild and burnin’
for the girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always bе
waiting for me
[verse 3]
(one, two, three, four!)
so as my gut spilled
ingrid callеd the ladies in the town
“please would you help me?
dispose of henry lee, don’t make a sound”
they tore my limbs off
fed the guts to all their pets
“let’s throw poor henry
into piccadilly lake to have his rest!”
[refrain]
my heart was wild and burnin’
for that girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always be
waiting for me
[verse 4]
when sheriff custer
diagnosed the murder scene
he asked, “ms. ingrid
did you murder henry lee?”
she grabbed his rifle
shot the sheriff in the face (+gunshot+)
then grabbed his car keys (+key jingles+)
and got the h+ll out of that place (+car speeding+)
[refrain]
my heart was wild and burnin’
for that girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always be
waiting for me
[verse 5]
out on the freeway
she saw the [?] for the last time
went up to brooklyn
started working day and night
she made some money
at the [?] cafe
when she got bored, she
started playing music, touring to this day
[refrain]
my heart was wild and burnin’
for that girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always be
waiting for me
[verse 6]
oh the fans just love her
she sings her song from sea to sea
she won’t be singin’
the song of henry lee
no, she ain’t singin’
the song of henry lee
[refrain]
heart was wild and burnin’
for that girl who’s yearnin’
she’ll always be
waiting for me
