Lyrics
Here on the footpath, tonight all the folks will cut the corn
And i wonder can it be that he forgot, tonight i ll be glad that i was born
Another date, a-long the footpath, behind the bush
Looking for henry lee, behind the bush
A-round the corner, but my henry lee has not
For my henry lee i ll see, he ll be cuttin corn with me
here on the footpath
A-round the corner, a-round the corner, begins to sink
But i don t see why so late he has to be, but i don t see why so late he has to be
another date
Cut the corn, behind the bush, tonight there are footsteps that i think
I m late cos i had another date, a-round the corner
A-round the corner, oh henry lee why did you make me wait
and we ll meet neath the bitter berry tree
here on the footpath
will at last bring him to me
a-round the corner
Beneath the berry tree, he ll be cuttin corn with me the, a-round the corner ooh-ooh
A-long the footpath, my beloved henry lee
A-round the corner ooh-ooh, a-long the footpath, a-long the footpath
behind the bush
a-round the corner ooh-ooh
A-round the corner, and we ll meet neath the bitter berry tree
A-round the corner, but my henry lee has not, behind the bush
and i wonder can it be that he forgot
begins to sink
