lyrics

Oh, Jenny, just because I love you
Your momma’s heart is going to falter
Well, I sure hope it recovers
By the time we reach the altar

Chorus
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Junebug
Under the persimmon tree
Your momma’s right
You are too good for me

Oh, Jenny, just because I love you
Your momma’s threatening Alabama
Tell her we need her around
Because soon she’ll be a grandma

Chorus

Oh, Jenny just because I love you
Your momma’s cursing her rotten luck
Remind her to be grateful
You’re not dating that other schmuck

Chorus

Oh, Jenny, just because I love you
Your momma’s come all undone
I own no suit, I have no job
But soon I’ll be her son

Chorus
