Jenny grew up wild,

like a blackfoot daisy

Out in the shack with a blue tick hound

Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty

The kind that a rich man can't turn down

She caught the eye of an oil man dancing

One summer night in a dime store dress

She had the looks, he had the mansion

And you can figure out the rest

It was all roses, dripping in diamonds

Sipping on champagne

She was all uptown,

wearing that white gown

Taking his last name

She could hear those church

bells ringing, ringing

And up in the loft, that

whole choir singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

And just listen to the church

bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties

And having dinner at the country club

Everyone thought they

were Ken and Barbie

But Ken was always getting way too drunk

Saturday night, after a few too many

He came home ready to fight

And all his money could never save Jenny

From the devil living in his eyes

It was all bruises, covered in makeup

Dark sunglasses

And that ne t morning,

sitting in the back pew

Praying with the baptist

She could hear those church

bells ringing, ringing

And up in the loft, that

whole choir singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

You just listen to the church

bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny slipped something

in his Tennessee whiskey

No law man was ever gonna find

And how he died is still a mystery

But he hit a woman for

the very last time

She could hear those church

bells ringing, ringing

Standing there in a black

dress singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes

Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

And just listen to the church

bells ringing, ringing

Yeah, they're ringing
