Around the Corner Beneath the Berry Tree - Pete Seeger, The Weavers

A-round the corner

Beneath the berry tree

A-long the footpath, behind the bush

Looking for Henry Lee

A-round the corner

Beneath the berry tree

A-long the footpath, behind the bush

Looking for Henry Lee

Instrumental

Tonight all the stars are shining bright

Tonight all the cornfields are a sight

I have reached the meeting spot

But my Henry Lee has not

And I wonder can it be that he forgot

A-round the corner

Beneath the berry tree

A-long the footpath, behind the bush

Looking for Henry Lee

Tonight as the moon begins to shine

Tonight Henry Lee said he’d be mine

I would like to know my faith

But my Henry Lee is late

And I wonder could it be he changed his mind

A-round the corner (around the corner)

Beneath the berry tree (beneath the tree)

A-long the footpath, behind the bush

Looking for Henry Lee

I told my Henry Lee to go away

But now I’m sad he didn’t stay

And tomorrow night if he

Comes a looking round for me

I’ll be sittin' 'neath the bitter berry tree

A-round the corner

Beneath the berry tree

A-long the footpath, behind the bush

Looking for Henry Lee

Looking for Henry Lee

Looking for Henry Lee
