Coming After Jenny (Live) - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)

He'll be comin' down the road at the break of day

His head thrown back and his guns tied low

He's comin' after Jinny wants to take her away

But I ain't gonna let her go

Oh he boasted in town but she loved him

He said she'd be his with the sun

He said anyone try to stop him would be

Just one more notch on his gun

They say that he's headstrong

And handsome his hair's blowin' wild and free

And they got a hold I ain't comin'

Cause he's a lot younger than me

He'll be comin' down the road at the break of day

His head thrown back and his guns tied low

He's comin' after Jinny wants to take her away

But I ain't gonna let her go

He hasn't had much education

He ain't worked a day in his life

He's livin' with some older woman

They say she's another man's wife

But she wants him needs him and loves him

She buys him his clothes and his meals

When she finds he's gone she'll be prayin'

And Lord I know just how she feels

He'll be comin' down the road at the break of day

His head thrown back and his guns tied low

He's comin' after Jinny wants to take her away

But I ain't gonna let her go

The sun's at his back

As he's comin' the smile is curlin' his lip

His right hand is slowly descendin' to the sixgun

That rest on his hip

Then his lower lip strated tremble and he started cryin'

As he looked up at me

And I picked him up I said son you're only four years old

And you know Jinny's only three

So come on in the house and have some cookies and milk

And he did and the tears turned to smiles

And I called up his mama I drove him home

And Jinny's safe at least for a little while
