Artist: The Band
Song: please, mrs. henry
Well, I've already had two beers
I'm ready for the broom
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you
Take me to my room?
I'm a good ol' boy
But I've been sniffin' too many eggs
Talkin' to too many people
Drinkin' too many kegs
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
I'm down on my knees an' I ain't got a dime
Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Mrs. Henry, won't you
Take me to your dad?
I can drink like a fish
I can crawl like a snake
I can bite like a turkey
I can slam like a drake
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
I'm down on my knees an' I ain't got a dime
Now, don't crowd me, lady
Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy
An' tonight I am blue
I'm a thousand years old
I'm a generous bomb
I'm T-boned and punctured
I've been known to be calm
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
I'm down on my knees an' I ain't got a dime
Now, I'm startin' to drain
My stool's gonna squeak
If I walk too much farther
My crane's gonna leak
Look, Mrs. Henry
There's only so much I can do
Why don't you look my way
An' pump me a few?
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
Please, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Henry, please
I'm down on my knees an' I ain't got a dime
