This is pretty obvious by PJ Harvey or Nick Cave's standards. Song is about a woman who attempts to seduce a man- Henry Lee- but he is already in love with another woman. She is jealous and stabs him, he dies and she dumps the body in a well. She kind of boasts about it in the last verse as the woman he loves will never see him again. Amazing and sinister song, had this on repeat a couple of weeks ago.
