about

Jenny covers this Stompin Tom Connors song.

lyrics

On a bright moonlit night over Lucan
Strode the belle of Biddulph and her beau
He would soon have to leave for St. Thomas
And he quietly begged her to go

Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
From Lucan I beg you to flee
Say goodbye, say goodbye Jenny Donnelly
To this land with it's dark destiny

There's a great cloud of hate over Lucan
And a black shadow strangles this land
So tonight let us go to your father
And there I will ask for your hand

Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
For the love in my heart you can see
Say goodbye, say goodbye Jenny Donnelly
Come and live in St. Thomas with me

They were married and lived in St. Thomas
Where their children did happily grow
They were gay till the day came the message
Proclaiming its tidings of woe

As it read your family's dead they've been murdered
Can you come, they'll be buried today
Deep inside Jenny cried at the funeral
Till beside her she heard someone say

Come away, come away Jenny Donnelly
For the love in my heart you can see
Say goodbye, say goodbye Jenny Donnelly
Come and live in St. Thomas with me
