Have You Seen My Henry Brown? 1905

I am feeling awful sad,
don't know when I felt so bad,
Felt like I could
cry out good and hard,
'cause my Henry went away,
left me just a week today,
and never even wrote a postal card.
I'll hunt for him and when I see a crowd,
I'll go right up
and yell out good and loud:

Have you seen my Henry Brown,
any place a hanging round?
I won't never rest till he am found.
I'm going to hunt all over town,
for that scamp that threw me down,
On my knees,
I ask you, please,
have you seen my Henry Brown?

Have you seen my Henry Brown,
any place a hanging round?
I won't never rest till he am found.
I'm going to hunt all over town,
for that scamp that threw me down,
On my knees,
I ask you, please,
have you seen my Henry Brown?

I done ev'rything I could,
He done me and done me good,
Never thought he'd act like that to me,
Gave him money for his gin,
even fanned the flies off him,
Now he's gone and never took his key.
I'll search around for him
both night and day,
to ev'ryone I meet,
I'm going to say:

Have you seen my Henry Brown,
any place a hanging round?
I won't never rest till he am found.
I'm going to hunt all over town,
for that scamp that threw me down,
On my knees,
I ask you, please,
have you seen my Henry Brown?

Have you seen my Henry Brown,
any place a hanging round?
I won't never rest till he am found.
I'm going to hunt all over town,
for that scamp that threw me down,
On my knees,
I ask you, please,
have you seen my Henry Brown?
