Don't ya tell henry, Apple's got your fly. E 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, A Don't ya tell henry, B7 Don't ya tell henry, (n.c.) e (turnaround) Apple's got your fly." E 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. A She said, "don't ya tell henry, E Don't ya tell henry, B Don't ya tell henry, A (n.c.) e Apple's got your fly." E Now, i went down to the beanery at half past twelve, A-lookin' around just to see myself. A I spotted a horse and a donkey, too, E I looked for a cow and i saw me a few. A They said, "don't ya tell henry, E Don't ya tell henry, B Don't ya tell henry, A (n.c.) e 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."
