I've done some searching, but I haven't been able to find any Henry, Sweet Henry lyrics. Could any of you help me out or happen to know a site that has them?
Or, if not, a list with the songs and which character sings them would be ok, too!

Thanks!! :)

I'm especially fond of the chant section in "Weary Near to Dyin'"...the part that goes "Rama rama rama rama...Zee bee zee" etc. It's kind of unbelievable.

Thanks for the list, I saw it on ibdb.com but I wasn't sure if it was right.

Valerie sings that many songs with Mrs. Gilbert? I wonder if they meant Marian Gilbert, since those two characters are best friends? That threw me off a little...

I got chills the first time I heard that song. Very amazing.

It's a mistake. Val and Marian sing "Henry, Sweet Henry," "Woman in Love," and "I'm Blue Too". I have the script, but I don't remember "Whereas" off hand.

EDIT: I think "Whereas" is a brief song with Val and Marian after they have gone to see one of Henry's avant garde performance pieces, and they make their vow to follow him all over town.

Thanks!!!

I'm mainly interested in which songs Marian sings, so that helps a ton!

Where did you get the script? Updated On: 9/17/05 at 07:03 PM

Great, thanks!!
Haha, I just Googled it right before you posted the link!

I guess that's my best bet for lyrics and all that since I can't find a thing online.

You can always just listen to the OBC and write them down. They speak pretty clearly, so it would probably be easy to take down.

Yes, I don't have the OBC, though.
