Jenny Lou

I was put here by a jury

Of twelve good men and true

For myself, I wouldn't worry

But what about Jenny Lou

What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her, what'll they do to my darling

Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her, After I'm gone away

Since the main street was deserted,

They all believe the worst.

There was only me and Jenny

Could swear it was him drew first.

They believe I meant to kill him

Although he'd been my pal

There was real bad blood between us

For Jenny was once his gal

What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her, what'll they do to my darling

Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her, After I'm gone away

Now, they'll make my Jenny suffer

For her good name is gone

How his brother's lie by sayin'

That Jenny had led him on

They'll be comin' in the morning

To take me to a tree

Oh, when I think how they'll treat Jenny

I wish it was him killed me

What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her, what'll they do to my darling

Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her, After I'm gone away

What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her, After I'm gone
