Lyrics

  1. I have come to take you home, Jennie Lee
    To the heart that’s always yours, Jennie Lee
    Where our love we used to tell, Jennie Lee
    Tho’ your life is one regret
    I am sure I love you yet
    I will help you to forget, Jennie Lee
    To the quiet countryside, Jennie Lee
    I will take you as my bride, Jennie Lee
    Leave the city far behind
    It has treated you unkind
    And with me true love you’ll find, Jennie Lee

Chorus
Jennie Lee, sweet Jennie Lee
No fault with you I find
True love, sweetheart is blind, Jennie Lee
Tho’ false to me
You’re my little sweetheart still, sweet Jennie Lee

  1. We will seek that shady dell, Jennie Lee
    Where our love we used to tell, Jennie Lee
    By the quiet little stream
    Where of love we used to dream
    Life as dear to us will seem, Jennie Lee
    Tho’ the friends that you have known, Jennie Lee
    Turned and left you here alone, Jennie Lee
    There’s a home where you can rest
    In a village ‘way out West
    With the one who loves you best, Jennie Lee
