Jenny, my own true loved one, I'm going far away, Out on the bound'ring* billows, Out on the deep blue sea. How I will miss you, my darling, There where the storm's raging high, Cheer up and don't be lonely, Wait till the clouds roll by. Wait till the clouds roll by, Jenny, Wait till the clouds roll by, Jenny, my own true loved one, Wait till the clouds roll by.
Jenny, when far from thee, love, I'm on the ocean deep, Each thought of thee forever, Loving, sweet vigil keep. Then I will come to you, my darling, Take courage, dear, never cry, Cheer up and don't be lonely, Wait till the clouds roll by. Wait till the clouds roll by, Jenny, Wait till the clouds roll by, Jenny, my own true loved one, Wait till the clouds roll by.
