《Jenny》歌词

[00:00:01] Jenny - Steve Taylor

[00:00:06] On a Saturday night

[00:00:07] All the girls run free

[00:00:10] Singing "Bury me not on the lone Prairie"

[00:00:15] But where do you go

[00:00:17] When you finish broken-hearted

[00:00:21] Back to the dust

[00:00:22] Where you started

[00:00:24] Jenny cut her teeth in a midwest shack

[00:00:26] As a shantytown girl

[00:00:28] On the wrong end of the tracks

[00:00:30] Her mama taught her everything

[00:00:31] She'd need to get along

[00:00:32] And her Sunday School teacher

[00:00:34] Taught her right and wrong

[00:00:36] Raised to be respectable

[00:00:37] But born to be poor

[00:00:39] It was all she'd ever known

[00:00:40] But she figured there was more

[00:00:42] When she came of age

[00:00:43] Jenny made herself a vow

[00:00:45] "I'm gonna get out and I don't care how"

[00:00:54] It appeared every Autumn on the courthouse lawn

[00:00:57] And the leaves never fell 'til the carnival was gone

[00:01:00] Michael was a barker for an arcade ride

[00:01:03] With a smooth-talk tongue

[00:01:04] And a wandering eye

[00:01:06] "Get your tickets here for the Halls O'Mirrors maze

[00:01:09] If you can't get out

[00:01:11] I know a couple ways"

[00:01:12] He caught Jenny's eye but her thoughts looked down

[00:01:15] All she wanted was a ticket going out of that town

[00:01:20] How how I wanna bury you

[00:01:23] How bury you and run away done away

[00:01:26] How how I wanna bury your memory

[00:01:31] Why don't you let me be

[00:01:38] Michael stole a kiss then he whispered at last

[00:01:41] "You're a little old-fashioned

[00:01:43] So forget about your past

[00:01:44] These Bible belt folks think living is a sin

[00:01:47] So they all start dying from the day they're born again"

[00:01:50] And there atop the Ferris wheel

[00:01:52] The colors were a blur

[00:01:53] The morning

[00:01:54] Said he loved her but she wasn't really sure

[00:01:56] He made her promise not to leave

[00:01:58] Until he came to get her

[00:02:00] She promised him

[00:02:00] But she should have known better

[00:02:03] She cried she cried

[00:02:04] How how I wanna bury you

[00:02:07] How bury you and run away done away

[00:02:10] How how I wanna bury your memory

[00:02:15] Why don't you let me be

[00:02:28] On a train stowaway

[00:02:31] Jesus loves you still

[00:02:33] And your mama wants you home

[00:02:34] But oh bridges burn

[00:02:37] When you carry your shame

[00:02:39] And you think you can't return

[00:02:42] How how I wanna bury you

[00:02:45] How bury you and run away done away

[00:02:48] How how I wanna bury your memory

[00:02:59] When they finally found

[00:02:59] Her body on a cold dog day

[00:03:02] It was in a cattle car buried in the hay

[00:03:05] A note in the pocket of her calico dress

[00:03:08] Said "I'm guilty as sin but I can't confess"

[00:03:11] Once you know the truth you can hide it on a shelf

[00:03:14] But unless you bring it down

[00:03:16] Live with yourself

[00:03:18] In her right hand Jenny held the Bible of her mother

[00:03:23] Jenny had a pistol in the other

[00:03:39] On a Saturday night all the girls run free

[00:03:44] Singing "bury me not on the lone prairie"

[00:03:49] But where do you go

[00:03:50] When you finish broken-hearted

[00:03:54] Back to the dust where you started
