i was put here by a jury
of good men and true
for myself i wouldn’tworry
butwhat about jennylou
what’ll they do to her what’llthey 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 believed 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 lied 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 away
