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
