When I saw jenny goin home
oh when I saw jenny goin home
oh when I saw jenny goin home
I was about to cry

jenny came to town ages ago
I asked her who her momma was
she said she don't know

when I first met jenny
she'd even forgot her name
I said don't be angry
there weren't no one to blame

the night sky gave her brains
the sunrise gave her eyes
I gave her love
she gave us lies

don't you see, jenny
what you done to us
or were you always blind
when you betrayed my trust

-

under this very tree
I felt your touch like fire
you said the word love
I didn't know you was a liar

I used to want to be back there
before I knew the score
but false love is poison
those thoughts went out the door

when I learned you were leavin
I thought I would be sad
but I couldn't quite get myself to cry
you'd just hurt me too bad
