As I was walking 'long the shore, I happened there to see
a woman's form a lying there, as still as still could be
the dress she wore was gingham blue, her hair all tumbled down
it might have been my own true love, my sweet heart Jenny Brown
Her face was turned into the sand, twas who I could not tell
but on her hand a high school ring, a ring I knew to well
my heart stood still, I grasped her hand, and then I turned her 'round
whoa alas it was my own true love my sweet heart Jenny Brown
I stared into her lovely face, a face that used to clown
I saw one eye aflicker, then wake and open round
Ha ha, she laughed and jumped up tall, "I bet you thought I drowned!"
What a rotten sense of humor has my sweet heart Jenny Brown
