Im Henry Viii I Am Lyrics

Artist: Herman's Hermits

I'm Henry VIII I Am
Herman's Hermits
(Murray/Weston)
- written in 1911
- popularized in England by Harry Champion

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

Second verse same as the first

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

------ lead guitar ------

I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am

H-E-N-R-Y
Henry (Henry)
Henry (Henry)
Henry the eighth I am, I am
Henry the eighth I am

Yeah!

Pay more attention, everyone, this song is not about the king of England, though of course it is a play on his title, but a widow who had eight husbands named Henry.

by jade smith on 5/3/2012 1:12pm
that is so cool

by Khaleesi on 6/9/2012 7:50am
King Henry didn't kill all of his wife's, one died giving birth to his son. and the last wife outlived King henry. trust me, i am from England :)
