Many a girl I met or knew
Oh, all my life I'd try for you
A name so sweet as Jennie Lee
Her heart is true and just for me
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)

I met her just a year ago
My love for her will grow and grow
Her bright eyes make a fire in me
Now I cannot live without Jennie Lee
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)

Now If I were only seventeen
There'd be no one left to bother me
I'm gonna marry just wait and see
To a sweet little girl named Jennie Lee
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
Oh, Jennie (Jennie Lee)
