Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Apple's Got Your Fly.



I Went Down To The River On A Saturday Morn,

A-lookin' Around Just To See Who's Born.

I Found A Little Chicken Down On His Knees,

I Went Up And Yelled To Him,

"Please, Please, Please!"

He Said, "Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Apple's Got Your Fly."



I Went Down To The Corner At A-half Past Ten,

I's Lookin' Around, I Wouldn't Say When.

I Looked Down Low, I Looked Above,

And Who Did I See But The One I Love.

She Said, "Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Apple's Got Your Fly."



Now, I Went Down To The Beanery At Half Past Twelve,

A-lookin' Around Just To See Myself.

I Spotted A Horse And A Donkey, Too,

I Looked For A Cow And I Saw Me A Few.

They Said, "Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Apple's Got Your Fly."



Now, I Went Down To The Pumphouse The Other Night,

A-lookin' Around, It Was Outa Sight.

I Looked High And Low For That Big Ol' Tree,

I Did Go Upstairs But I Didn't See Nobody But Me.

I Said, "Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Don't Ya Tell Henry,

Apple's Got Your Fly."
