Don't ya tell Henry Bob Dylan and the Band The Basement Tapes [Verse 1]

^EI 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!"

^EHe said, "Don't ya tell Henry, ^ADon't ya tell Henry, ^B7Don't ya tell Henry, [n.c.] E [turnaround] Elbow's got your thigh."

[Verse 2]

I ^Ewent 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.

She said, ^A"Don't ya tell Henry, ^EDon't ya tell Henry, ^BDon't ya tell Henry, A [n.c.] E Elbow's got your thigh."

[Verse 3]

Now, I went ^Edown to the beanery at half past twelve, ^EA-lookin' around just to see myself. I ^Aspotted a horse and a donkey, too, I ^Elooked for a cow and I saw me a few. They said, ^A"Don't ya tell Henry, ^EDon't ya tell Henry, ^BDon't ya tell Henry, A [n.c.] E Elbow's got your thigh."

^ENow, I went down to the pumphouse the other night, ^EA-lookin' around, it was outa sight. I lo^Aoked high and low for that big ol' tree, I did go upstairs^E but I didn't see nobody but me. I said, "^ADon't ya tell Henry, ^EDon't ya tell Henry, ^BDon't ya tell Henry, A [n.c.] E Elbow's got your thigh."
