The Ballad Of Henry Darger

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.
