Farewell to Jenny Songtext
von Paddy and the Rats

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
