after jack - henry lee كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
henry lee was daddy’s boy
he worked him on the farm
set out on the back porch
watched that evening sun go down

[verse 2]
i’d often see him late at night
when the moon turned black
head out through the orchard
with his banjo on his back

[verse 3]
we never did know where he goes
or what it is he might do
’cause henry, he don’t say a word
and the devil only knew

[verse 4]
henry died one rainy night
and all his friends come ’round
dug a hole and laid his body
gently in the ground

[verse 5]
covered him with grandma’s quilt
and branches made of pine
everybody praised the lord
and someone testified
[verse 6]
brother amos said amen
and he took me by the hand
handed me that banjo
and this is what he said

[verse 7]
“now take this d_mned old banjo, child
and you throw it down in that hole
it tortured henry all his life
and it mortified his soul.”

[verse 8]
i said “no preacher, that ain’t right
just give it one more song
let me play it once for henry, now
before his soul is gone.”

[verse 9]
everybody bowed their heads
and softly sang along
a voice come up and took me
said “you gots to carry on.”

[verse 10]
i was froze there in my footsteps
i was cold as i could be
a voice had come up from the ground
and it sounded like henry lee
[verse 11]
i didn’t wait for no amen
i run out on that song
threw the banjo on my back
like lightning, i was gone

[verse 12]
so if you go out walking
down by the old church tree
that chill you feel, it ain’t the wind
it’s the ghost of henry lee
