Fred Eaglesmith - Jenny Smith lyrics

Old Jenny Smith lives all alone Never been too far from home Across the Decoration Bridge Never been off of the ridge She just wants a new screen door To keep the flies off of the porch Cool the kitchen when it’s warm Hear the rain when it storms Her old man, he went to fight Some old war that wasn’t right She waited on the road for him He never came back again She just wants a new screen door To keep the flies off of the porch Cool the kitchen whеn it’s warm Hear the rain when it storms Old Jеnny Smith walks down the lane They moved her mailbox up the way No one writes her, just the same She goes to check it everyday She just wants a new screen door To keep the flies off of the porch Cool the kitchen when it’s warm Hear the rain when it storms Cool the kitchen when it’s warm Hear the rain when it storms
