Poor Jenny is a-weeping

Poor Jenny is a-weeping,

A-weeping, a-weeping,

Poor Jenny is a-weeping

On a bright summer’s day.

Why are you weeping,

Weeping, weeping,

Why are you weeping,

On a bright summer's day?

I'm weeping for a loved one,

A loved one, a loved one,

I'm weeping for a loved one,

On a bright summer's day.

Stand up and choose your loved one,

Your loved one, your loved one,

Stand up and choose your loved one,

One a bright summer's day.

Shake hands before you leave 'er,

You leave 'er, you leave 'er,

Shake hands before you leave 'er,

On a bright summer's day
