The Ballad of Henry Darger

Who’ll save the poor little girl?
Henry Darger
Who’ll save the poor little girl?
O, Henry
Who’ll tell the story of her?
Henry Darger
Who’ll tell it all to the world?
O, Henry
Who’ll buy the carbon paper now?
Henry Darger
Who’ll trace the lines of her mouth?
O, 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
Risk his very own precious skin
To make our Angelina a free and peaceful land again?
Henry
Who’ll love a poor orphan child?
Henry Darger
Lost, growing savage and wild?
O, Henry
