[Verse 1]
Hey look [D]yonder, [C]Henry,
comes the sher[D]iff
And he's carrying a war
[C]rant [D]in his hand
Don't you run, poor old [C]Henry,
for he [D]will shoot you
Not long will you [A]be a free [D]man

[Verse 2]
Now twenty [G]years you must
spend be[D]hind steel bars
For a [G]crime that you did not [D]do
Yeah the [G]lie she swore in that [D]district court
Has proved to be the [A]ruin of [D]you

[Verse 3]
Tried to [D]warn you, [C]Henry, not to cross [D]her
Tried to tell you about [C]her vengeful [D]ways

[Verse 4]
When you [D]turned and [C]left her for an[D]other
She swore, Henry,
that [A]she'd make [D]you pay[A]
[D]Now twenty

[Verse 5]
[G]years you must spend
be[D]hind steel bars
For a crime [G]that you did not [D]do
Yeah the [G]lie she swore in that [D]district court
Has proved to be the [A]ruin of you

[Verse 6]
Listen [D]well, [C]all you young [D]rounders
Heed the lesson poor old [C]Henry
never [D]learned
That even hell [C]with all its fiery [D]power
Hath no fury like [A]a woman's s[D]corn

[Verse 7]
Now twenty [G]years you must
spend be[D]hind steel bars
For a [G]crime that you did not [D]do
Yeah the [G]lie she swore in that [D]district court
Has proved to be [A]the ruin [D]of you

[Verse 8]
Yeah [G]the lie she swore in that [D]district court
Has proved to be the [A]ruin of you
