Lyrics The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars

Oh Henry

Oh the grass is green

Everywhere but under me

Or so it seems

Got a wedding band

In the name of a wandering man

I love the best I can

Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?

'Cause everybody's been sayin

You been runnin' 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'll know you'll only have my heart

'til 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's been sayin

You been runnin' 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 you do

Oh Henry, have you got something to tell me?

'Cause everybody's been sayin

You been runnin' 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 one more grave in this town

Oh the grass is green

Everywhere but under me
