Chorus
Victim of the war between the states
Lost her life when that bullet strayed
Never did deserve such a fate
Put her in an early grave
Young Jenny Wade
V1
Jenny was a seamstress, just twenty years old
So courageous and brave
Baking fresh bread, to keep the soldiers well fed
In the fight between the blue and the gray
On that fateful day
V2
Jenny was engaged to marry that May
To a man who wire the Union Blue
But that bloody fight took both their lives
Never got to see it through
V3
The house where she died, family at her side
Remains on Cemetery Hill
When the night shadows fall, her ghost haunts those halls
Longing for her lover still
