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
