The Civil Wars - Oh Henry Lyrics

The Civil Wars – Oh Henry Lyrics

Oh the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
Or so it seems
I got a wedding band
And the name of a wandering man
Who I love the best I can
Oh Henry
Have you got something to tell me?
’Cause everybody been saying
You’ve been running 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 know you’ll only have my heart
Till 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 been saying
You’ve been running 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 that you do
Oh Henry
Have you got something to tell me?
’Cause everybody been saying
You’ve been running 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 the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
