Stompin’ Tom Connors – Jenny Donnelly Lyrics

Artist: Stompin’ Tom Connors
Song: Jenny Donnelly

〈Verse 1〉
On a bright moonlit night over Lucan
Strolled a belle of (?) and her beau
He would soon have to leave for St Thomas

And he quietly begged her to go
〈Chorus〉
Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
From Lucan I beg you to flee

Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
Come and live in St. Thomas with me
Come and live in St. Thomas with me
〈Verse 2〉

There’s a great cloud of hate over Lucan
And a black shadow strangles this land
So tonight let us go to your father
And there I will ask for your hand

〈Chorus〉
Come away, come away Jеnny Donnelly
For the love in my hеart you can see
Say goodbye, say goodbye Jenny Donnelly

To this land with its dark destiny
〈Verse 3〉
They were married and lived in St Thomas
Where their children did happily grow

They were gay till that day came the message
Proclaiming its tidings of woe
As it read, your families dead, they’ve been murdered
Can you come, they’ll be buried today

Deep inside, Jenny cried at their funeral
Till beside her she heard someone say
〈Chorus〉
Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly

From Lucan I beg you to flee
Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
Come and live in St. Thomas with me
Come and live in St. Thomas with meYou might also like
