Lyrics

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."
