  A
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!"

Chorus:
A
He said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
D
Don't ya tell Henry,
E7
Don't ya tell Henry,
                   A
Elbow's got your thigh."

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.

Chorus:
She said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Elbow's got your thigh."

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.

Chorus:
They said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Elbow's got your thigh."

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.

Chorus:
I said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Don't ya tell Henry,
Elbow's got your thigh."
