    Jenny Joe is sick in bed and you
    can't see her now.
    Very well, thank you mam, thank

    I came to see Jenny Joe.
    How is she now?
    Jenny Joe is dead and gone, dead and
    gone, dead and gone.
    Jenny Joe is dead and gone and you can't see her now.
    What will we dress her in, dress her

    Is it in brown?
    Brown for the dead people, dead people, dead people.
    Brown for the dead people
    And that will just do.
