Lyrics
- 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
- 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
