Chorus: I'm Henery the eighth I am, Henery the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before Everyone was a Henery she wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam I'm her eighth old man named Henery, Henery the eighth I am. I left the Duke of Cumberland a pub up in the town Soon with one or two moochers I was holding up the Crown Seated on the bucket what car men call their own Surrounded by my subjects I was sitting on the throne Out came the potman he said, “Now get off to bed” Said I, “Now say another word and off'll go your head. Chorus: I'm Henery the eighth I am, Henery the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before Everyone was a Henery she wouldn't have a William or a Sam I'm her eighth old man named Henery, Henery the eighth I am The undertaker called and to the wife I heard him say "Have you got any orders mum? We're very slack today I packed up number seven for ya, for the Golden Gates Let's have a pound upon account of Henery the eighth" Oh, when he measured me with half a yard of string I dropped upon me marrow bones and sang "God Save the King!" Chorus: I'm Henery the eighth I am, Henery the eighth I am, I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before Everyone was a Henery she wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam I'm her eighth old man named Henery, Henery the eighth I am Written and composed by Murry & Weston Performed by Harry Champion (1865-1942)
