I don't understand meaning of this song?

Question

Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with mew
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blo
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Henry had a one night stand with a woman he wasn't in love with, but who was in love with him. He told the woman he was in love with his girlfriend instead of the antagonist, and the antagonist ended up killing him.

Be careful of who you sleep with.

the girl killed henry lee because he had another girl that he loved more.. then she disposed of the body. its pretty easy to understand actually just read it through a couple of times

Answer 5

I really don't like dave mathews, but he once said something I will never forget, "It's the autonomy of art, It's only yours until you give it away" In other words, what matters is what you hear, not what is said.
