Jenny Lou:Sonny James.
#67 on BB Hot 100 on NRC Records
in 1960. (Another great crossover hit.)
INTRO:
I was put here by a jury..of twelve good men and true.
For myself I wouldn t worry..but what about Jenny Lou.
CHORUS:
What ll they do to her..what ll they do to her..what ll
they do to my darling?
Will they go blaming her..taunting and shaming her..
after I m gone away?
#1.
Since the main street was deserted..they all believe the
worst.
There was only me and Jenny..could swear it was him drew first.
#2.
They believe I meant to kill him..although he d been my pal.
There was real bad blood between us..for Jenny was once his
gal.
CHORUS:
What ll they do to her..what ll they do to her..what ll
they do to my darling?
Will they go blaming her..taunting and shaming her..
after I m gone away?
#3.
Now they ll make my Jenny suffer..for her good name is gone.
How his brothers lied by saying..that Jenny had led him on.
#4.
They ll be coming 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.
CHORUS:
What ll they do to her..what ll they do to her..what ll
they do to my darling?
Will they go blaming her..taunting and shaming her..
after I m gone away?
OUTRO:
What ll they do to her..what ll they do to her..after I m
gone away?
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
