  • Oh the grass is green
    Everywhere but under me
    Or so it seems

    I 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 know you'll only have my heart
    'Til death do us part

    Oh you and I both know
    That at the end of 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, ooo ooh ooh oh woah ooh ooh

    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 Writer/s: JOHN WHITE, JOY WILLIAMS
