He went into town hopin' she had gone away like she told him she'd do that day Everything he had in his heart and in his dreams were all tied up in her memory Everyone who looked at him knowed that he'd been wronged 'cause he never got to sing his love song Over on the other coast there lived a powerful man with money and technology at his command He could move the dollar and he could move the news an' a few months ago he met Jenny-Lou She was lost on the East Side tryin' to find her way to a rent-controlled apartment where her cousin used to stay She ran into the rich man thinkin' he was made o' gold and the soul-less empty rich man thought he'd found... Found his love song You are like a man like no other that I've known But there's only one place that can ever be my home And in it lives an honest man country to the bone An' until the Lord takes back my soul He'll be my love song... my only love song Over out in Watsontown Billy was plowin' land with his daddy and two or three hired hands A stranger wearing country clothes stopped and asked around but everyone knew he wasn't lookin' ... for any town In about a week or two Billy'd bust his head in a fight with another stranger who said he'd end up dead If he didn't take the money he'd even find his friends and family this man was like none Billy'd ever met So with a sock o' pesticide we find our Jenny-Lou Walkin' 'round the east side tryin' to be so cool She ended up with the rich man finally they were alone And before he died she told him what he'd done an' why And sang her love song for the man he wronged Jenny-Lou my Jenny-Lou Goodbye baby I'm a comin' for you You shoulda told me I shoulda knew Goodbye baby I'm a comin' for you Jenny-Lou I'm ya Jenny-Lou Goodbye Billy I'm a comin' for you I shoulda told you you never knew Goodbye Billy I still love you Jenny-Lou my Jenny Lou Goodbye baby I'm a comin' for you You shoulda told me I shoulda knew Goodbye baby I still love you Jenny-Lou I'm ya Jenny-Lou Goodbye Billy I'm a comin' for you I shoulda told you you never knew When I get out I'm a comin' for you Jenny-Lou my Jenny-Lou (Girl singer) Jenny-Lou I'm ya Jenny-Lou
