Around the corner,
beneath the berry tree
Along the footpath behind the bush,
looking for Henry Lee
Hey, around the corner,
beneath the berry tree
Hey,
along the footpath behind the bush,
looking for Henry Lee
Tonight all the stars are shining bright
Tonight all the cornfields are a sight
I have reached the meeting spot,
but my Henry Lee has not And I wonder,
can it be that he forgot?
Hey, around the corner,
beneath the berry tree Hey,
along the footpath behind the bush,
looking for Henry Lee
Tonight as the moon begins to shine
Tonight Henry Lee said he'd be mine
I would like to know my fate,
but my Henry Lee is late And I wonder,
can it be he changed his mind?
Hey,
around the corner,
beneath the berry tree Hey,
along the footpath behind the bush,
looking for Henry Lee
I told Henry Lee to go away,
but now I am sad he didn't stay
And tomorrow night if he comes a-looking around
for me I'll be sitting near the bitter berry tree
Hey, around the corner,
beneath the berry tree Hey,
along the footpath behind the bush,
looking for Henry Lee
Looking for Henry Lee
