Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Please Mrs. Henry Lyrics
(originally by Bob Dylan)Well, I've already had two beersI'm ready for the broomPlease, Missus Henry, won't youTake me to my room ?I'm a good old boyBut I've been sniffin' too many eggsTalkin' to too many peopleDrinkin' too many kegsPlease, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,PleasePlease, Missus Henry, pleaseI'm down on my kneesAnd I ain't got a dime.Well, I'm groanin' in a hallwayPretty soon I'll be madPlease, Missus Henry, won't youTake me to your dad ?I can drink like a fishI can crawl like a snakeI can bite like a turkeyI can slam like a drakePlease, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,PleasePlease, Missus Henry, pleaseI'm down on my kneesAnd I ain't got a dime.Now, don't crowd me, ladyOr I'll fill up your shoeI'm a sweet bourbon daddyAnd tonight I am blueI'm a thousand years oldAnd I'm a generous bombI'm T-boned and puncturedBut I'm known to be calmPlease, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,PleasePlease, Missus Henry, pleaseI'm down on my kneesAnd I ain't got a dime.Now, I'm startin' to drainMy stool's gonna squeakIf I walk too much fartherMy crane's gonna leakLook, Missus HenryThere's only so much I can doWhy don't you look my wayAnd pump me a few ?Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry,PleasePlease, Missus Henry, pleaseI'm down on my kneesAnd I ain't got a dime.
