Oh Henry
The Civil Wars

Oh the grass is green

Everywhere but under me

Or so it seems


Got a wedding band

In the name of a wandering man

I love the best I can


Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?

'Cause everybody's been sayin

You been runnin' around

Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me

Don't you know that we don't need

One more grave in this town


Boy if you're smart

You'll know you'll only have my heart

'Til death do us part


Oh you and I both know

That at the end of that forbidden road

There's a six-foot hole


Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?

'Cause everybody's been sayin

You been runnin' around

Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me

Don't you know that we don't need

One more grave in this town


When we wed, we said forever ever and a day

The whole town heard you promise to be true

So boy you're gonna only give your gypsy heart to me

If it's the last thing you do


Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?

'Cause everybody's been sayin

You been runnin' around

Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me

Don't you know that we don't need

One more grave in this town

Oh one more grave in this town


Oh the grass is green

Everywhere but under me
