[Verse 1] I was put here by a jury Of 12 good men and true For myself, I wouldn't worry But what about Jenny Lou [Chorus] What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her What'll they do to my darling Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her After I'm gone away [Verse 2] Since the main street was deserted They all believe the worst There was only me and Jenny Could swear it was him drew first They believed I meant to kill him Although he'd been my pal There was real bad blood between us For Jenny was once his gal [Chorus] What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her What'll they do to my darling? Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her After I'm gone away? [Verse 3] Now, they'll make my Jenny suffer For her good name is gone How his brother's lied by sayin' That Jenny had led him on They'll be comin' in the morning To take me to a tree Oh, when I think how they'll treat Jenny I wish it was him killed me [Chorus] What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her What'll they do to my darling? Will they go blamin' her, taunting and shaming her After I'm gone away? What'll they do to her, what'll they do to her After I'm gone away?
