Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la

να σου πω..ωραιος ο cave και τα κομματια του..
αλλα παντα μου εδινε την εντυπωση οτι αντεγραφε τον Cohen και πολυ μαλιστα..
συγγνωμη που τα λεω ετσι χυμα αλλα τον Cohen τον λατρευω σαν μουσικο αλλα και ποιητη..οποτε δεν μπορω να μην ειμαι αυστηρος.. :)
Όχι, καλά κάνεις κι λες την γνώμη σου χύμα... έτσι πρέπει.
Κοίτα για τον Nick Cave, από όσο ξέρω ο Cohen ήταν μεγάλη επιρροή, εξάλλου αυτό φαίνεται κι από το ότι έχει παίξει πάρα πολλά κομμάτια του, έχει κάνει tribute αφιερώματα για αυτόν, κι έτσι είναι λογικό πιστεύω να έχουνε κάποιες ομοιότητες. Έτσι και αλλιώς κατά την γνώμη μου δεν υπάρχει στην μουσική αυτό που λέμε "παρθενογένεση", πάντα υπάρχει μια επιρροή από πίσω μας, που μας ενισχύει κι μας βοήθα, κι καλώς η κακώς παίρνουμε κι κάποια στοιχεία από αυτήν, απλά πρέπει να μην γινόμαστε ίδιοι με την επιρροή-είδωλο μας. Τώρα αυτό που λες το έχω ξανακούσει, ίσως για κάποιους ο Cave να παίρνει παραπάνω στοιχεία από όσα πρέπει από τον Cohen... :)
