lyrics

Tonight we'll have a supper
We'll eat some food that's rare
And at the head of the table
I'll place brother Henry's chair
Invite all the local big dogs
We'll laugh and talk and eat
But we'll' save the bones for Henry Jones
‘cause Henry don't eat no meat

Today I'll go to market
and buy a lot of fish
That will thrill Brother Henry
Because that's his special dish
Get a large can of molasses
so we'll have something sweet
But save the bones for Henry Jones
'cause Henry don't eat no meat

Henry is not a drinker
he rarely takes a nip
He don't need a napkin
‘cause the things he eats don't drip

One day we had a banquet
It really was a bake
They started off with some short ribs
they finished off with a steak
But when the feat was over
brother henry just kept his seat
and we served the bones to Henry Jones
‘cause Henry don't eat no meat
