Ay-Round the Corner (Bee-hind the Bush)
Artist: Jo Stafford
Peaked at # 9 in 1952
Written by Josef Marais
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee-ee)
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee)
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Tonight all the folks will cut the corn (cut the corn)
Tonight I'll be glad that I was born (I was born)
For my Henry Lee I'll see
He'll be cuttin' corn with me
And we'll meet 'neath the bit-terberry tree
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee)
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Tonight all the stars are shining bright (shining bright)
Tonight all the cornfields are a sight (are a sight)
I have reached the meeting spot
But my Henry Lee has not
And I wonder
"Can it be that he forgot?"
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee)
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Tonight as the moon begins to sink (begins to sink)
Tonight there are footsteps which I think (which I think)
Will at last bring him to me
My beloved Henry Lee
But I don't see why so late he has to be
Oh, Henry Lee, why didja make me wait? (make me wait)
He'd been keepin' company
With another girl beneath another tree
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee)
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I told my Henry Lee to go away (far away)
But now I'm sad because he didn't stay (didn't stay)
And tonight in case that he
Might come searchin' 'round for me
I'll be sitting 'neath the bit-terberry tree
(Ay-round the corner, ooh-ooh, bee-neath the berry tree)
(Ay-long the footpath, bee-hind the bush, lookin' for Henry Lee~ee)
