[Verse 1]
 
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!"
E
He said, "Don't ya tell Henry,
A
Don't ya tell Henry,
B7
Don't ya tell Henry,
N.C.             E
Apple's got your fly"
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  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"
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
            E
Now, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve,
E
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"
 
E
Now, I went down to the whorehouse the other night,
E
A-lookin' around, it was outa sight.
    A
I looked high and low for that big ol' tree,
                 E
I did go upstairs but I didn't see nobody but me.
         A
I 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"
