[Intro]

[Verse]
Jenny's anchored off in the Emroadstead now
ALying to a three-inch Drode
She F#7should have been gone on the Gmorning tide
But now the Dwhole damn Aday's grown Dold
[Verse]
EmSitting on the foredeck, Gwindy and cold
With the F#mwest wind making Bmon
And that Gdumb-fool deckhand Ashe's dreaming Bmon
Has Dslipped his Acable and Dgone
[Chorus]
F#mOh, Jenny, let the Gdamn-fool go
There's a Agood man down the Dline
You're going to Gmeet him on the next short-tow
And Ahe's going to treat you Dfine G A D
[Verse]
All those years growing Emup on the water
AWorking on your daddy's Dcrew
You've been F#7barge-hand, deckhand and Gengineer
There ain't a Ddamn thing Ayou can't Ddo
[Verse]
So Emnow you're the skipper and your Gown damn boss
But the F#mboss gets lonely, Bmtoo G
She gets to thinking that Aany young Bmbuck
Is the Dbest that Ashe can Ddo
[Chorus]
F#mOh, Jenny, let the Gdamn-fool go
There's a Agood man down the Dline
You're going to Gmeet him on the next short-tow
And Ahe's going to treat you Dfine A
[Verse]
'Cause you're Dstrong and able, canny and Emkind
You're the Abest thing he'll ever Dknow
And that F#7west wind's strolling aGlong your deck
Singing, "DCome on, AJenny, let's Dgo"
[Verse]
EmNow you're the skipper and your Gown damn boss
And the F#mboss gets lonely, Bmtoo
But Gdon't you be thinking that Aany young Bmbuck
Is the Dbest that Ayou can Ddo
[Chorus]
F#mOh, Jenny, let the Gdamn-fool go
There's a Agood man down the Dline
You're going to Gmeet him on the next short-tow
And Ahe's going to treat you Dfine F#m
[Bridge]
Hit the air now, Gfire up the Cat
AThrow in the gear to the Dwindlass
Haul that big old Ganchor on board
And Ago on about your Dbusiness A
[Verse]
D Em
Oh, Jenny-with-the-wind-in-your-hair
Just Alay this day aDside
F#7Lay your head on the Gcool west wind
And Dtack your Aown sweet Dtide
