Don't ya tell Henry
  Apple's got your fly.
    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
  Don't ya tell Henry
  Don't ya tell Henry
  Apple's got your fly".
    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
  She said, "Don't ya tell Henry
  Don't ya tell Henry
  Don't ya tell Henry
  Apple's got your fly".
  
  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
  The said, "Don't ya tell Henry
  Don't ya tell Henry
  Don't ya tell Henry
  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".
