Farewell to Jenny lyrics

It’s a farewell to Jenny

I take the last chance now to

Break up for good this old, sad romance

How poignant is the foggy road to the harbour

As she looks back from the prison door

Her eyes suffused with tears

Coz of the crime what she’s done

But to take the pain

She has plenty of spun

It’s all I can think of as my ship sails away

From the port of Amsterdam

Oooh…Jenny’s cryin’

Poor Jenny’s mind

Has gone insane from the burden of life

As she raised a diseased babe

She killed our child to take his pain

And I wasn’t there

To save her soul, she doesn’t care at all

This is how she falls

It’s a farewell to Jenny

I take the last chance now to

Break up for good this old, sad romance

How poignant is the foggy road to the harbour

As she looks back from the prison door

As walking the streets

She glimmered with red light

She was too desperate

She couldn’t win this fight

As a victim of life

She couldn’t find her way

In the port of Amsterdam
