Chords for Mother Maybelle & Carter Sisters - Looking For Henry Lee - 1952

Oh by the way, neighbors, this is June Carter.
Oh thank you. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A#] Back to New York this [B] time.
I can see you did.
Yes, you all see me in a new dress and well, got new slippers on, new skirt.
But these old breeches I got on.
June, June. _
June.
But mommy may _ _ _ too, Roy.
I notice you're older.
Well, we sitting there watching her, all of us young as was.
And well, she had great big gobbled stuff all smeared on her face.
[Bm] Well, we was looking at her and my little sister Nita said to her, says,
Mommy, Maybel, what is that stuff you got all over your face?
Mommy says, well, that's cold cream, Annie.
That makes you beautiful.
Said, you leave it on there a couple of minutes and then you kind of [Bm] wipe it off with a little [B] rag
and it really makes you pretty.
We sat there and watched mommy [Bm] for a minute and well, she left it on there and then she took the rag
and kind of wiped it off and Nita looked at her and said, didn't work, did it, [E] mommy Maybel? _ _
Well, let's not say things like that about mommy Maybel.
The whole family is here and I want you to have them [B] sing a song.
All right, we got one that's got _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
a look in for Henry Lee.
[F#] You've done this all round.
_ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ Tonight I'll go cut the corn, _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ you'll [C#] meet me in the bitter [F#] berry tree.
_ Stay around the corner, _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [D#] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
the moon is shining bright, _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] I've reached the meeting spot,
[F#] but my Henry Lee has not and I wonder [C#] can it be that [F#] he's forgot.
_ Stay around the corner, _ _
_ [C#] the berry [F#] tree, there on the steps behind the bells,
you'll look for [F#] Henry Lee. _ _ _ _
Make me _ wait, [C#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [B] Henry Lee's not coming. _
[F#] He's been a cute one, don't you think, when another [C#] girl beneath [F#] another tree.
_ Stay around the corner, underneath [C#] the berry [F#] tree, there [B] on the steps behind [C#] the bells,
you'll look for [F#] Henry Lee. _ _ _ _ _
Go around _ _ [C#] the house where [F#] I wish to stay, I _ [B] can taste that he might come a-searching around for me.
Oh, I'll be awake [C#] beneath the bitter [F#] berry tree.
_ Stay around the corner, underneath [C#] the berry tree, [F#] there on the [B] steps behind [C#] the bells,
you'll look for [F#] Henry Lee.
Oh, I'll be awake around the corner, beneath the berry tree, there on [B] the steps behind [C#] the bells,
you'll look for Henry [F#] Lee. _ _ _ _
