Jenny Lynn

She was the sweetest girl to ever come his way
His thoughts were all still of her night and day
They met when the spring-time flowers were in bloom
They were dancing to an old time fiddle tune

They were married just two days before he went to war
He vowed to love and cherish her forever more
While defending his great country in a land quite far away
The angels came and took his Jenny Lynn away

Chorus:
He pledged his heart to Jenny Lynn
His love for her will never end
He'll be faithful 'til the blessed day they meet again
God in heaven knows how much he misses Jenny Lynn

Now she rests in a grave upon the mountainside
He made himself a promise on the day she died
That his heart would never belong to another
He'd be true 'til they were both at rest together

Fifty years have passed and now he's old and gray
He makes the painful climb to Jenny every day
He prays that the angels will be coming for him soon
They'll again be dancing to that old time fiddle tune
