Jenny Lou Lyrics

Sonny James 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
