I went down to the river on a Saturday morn
A-lookin around just to see whos born.
I found a little chicken down on his knees
I went up and yelled to him
Please, please, please!
He said, Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Apples got your fly.
I went down to the corner at a-half past ten
Is lookin around, I wouldnt say when.
I looked down low, I looked above
And who did I see but the one I love.
She said, Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Apples 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, Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Apples 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 didnt see nobody but me.
I said, Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Dont ya tell Henry
Apples got your fly.
