JENNY LYNN
As sung by Ron Spears
From the album "My Time Has Come" (Copper Creek 169)

CHORUS: He pledged his heart to Jenny Lynn.
His love for her will never end.
He'll be thankful till the blessèd day they meet again.
God in heaven knows how much he misses Jenny Lynn.

She was the sweetest girl who ever come his way.
Yes, his thoughts are all still of her ev'ry night and day.
They met while the springtime flowers were in bloom,
Dancin' to an old-time fiddle tune.

They were married just two days before he went to war.
He vowed to love and cherish her forevermore.
While defendin' his great country in a land quite far away,
The angels came and took his Jenny Lynn away. CHORUS

Now she rests in a grave upon the mountainside,
And he made himself a promise on the day she died
That his heart would never belong to another.
He'd be true till they were both at rest together. CHORUS

Fifty years have passed and now he's old and gray,
But he makes that painful climb to Jenny ev'ry day,
And he tells her that the angels will be comin' for him soon.
They'll again be dancin' to that old-time fiddle tune. CHORUS

He pledged his heart to Jenny Lynn.
