Henry Darger

Words & Music:

Natalie Merchant

 

Who'll save the poor little girl?  Henry Darger.

Who'll save the poor little girl?  Henry.

 

Who'll tell the story of her?  Henry Darger.

Who'll tell it to all the world?  Henry.

 

Who'll buy the carbon paper now?  Henry Darger.

Who'll trace the lines of her mouth?  Henry.

 

Who will conquer foreign worlds searching for the stolen girls?

Princesses you'll never fear the patron saint of girls is here!

Who will draw the cavalry in and risk his very own precious skin

To make our Angelinia a free and beautiful land again?  Henry.

 

Who'll love a poor orphan child?  Henry Darger.

Lost, growing savage and wild?  Henry.
