Crazy Jenny, a boy was her life No one believed she was any man's wife They called her Crazy Jenny, a worm and a lone Raising her boy far from her man
Far away, all by the sea My own darling rubin, he is waiting there for me And when my baby is grown, now he's grown to a boy He looks like his father, his mother's bright and joy
And had she raised him up, she showered him with love 'Cause that was the one thing she was not short of My love gives me courage, my love keeps me strong And we won't be parted for long We won't be parted for long
And now home is Amerika, and it's barely a year She'll be a mother again, her time is drawing near What was given one taken, the very same warn And the new life was given, she lost her first boy
And the woman was singing this crazy song He was too beautiful to last long Crazy Jenny, her heart is burnt Her voice is silent, her milk has turned
And had she raised him up, she showered him with love 'Cause that was the one thing she was not short of My love gives me courage, my love keeps me strong And we won't be parted for long We won't be parted for long
Baby is crying, this work to be done A life is lost, a life has just begun I will remember, I will go on For the loss of that love, the fruit of my own moon
And I will raise him up, I'll shower him with love 'Cause that is the one thing we are not short of My love gives me courage, my love keeps me strong And we won't be parted for long We won't be parted for long
