Many a girl I met or knew
Oh, all my life I'd try for you
A name so sweet as Jennie Lee
Her heart is true and just for me
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
I met her just a year ago
My love for her will grow and grow
Her bright eyes make a fire in me
Now I cannot live without Jennie Lee
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Now If I were only seventeen
There'd be no one left to bother me
I'm gonna marry just wait and see
To a sweet little girl named Jennie Lee
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Oh Jennie, (Jennie Lee)
Jennie

There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
They're just a memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs.
