Story behind the song
A poor girl's life in the mountains.
Lyrics
Jenny’s got her mama’s eyes, pretty as can be.
Tending to her “Billy Boys”, in the hills of Tennessee.
Well she was almost twenty one, when her mama ran away.
Daddy found that “Son of a gun”, on a cold November day.
Now he’s lying in a jail, twenty years to life.
You know the “Hill Folk” don’t take kindly.
When you mess with another man’s wife!
Jenny don’t want to talk about it, she won’t ever speak her mind.
She just needs to forget about it, it’ll go away with time.
She’s alone with seven children, and she’s living on a dime.
You know it’s a hard life in the mountains, and there ain’t no work to find.
Jenny is a shy girl, never went to school.
Lives in condemnation, cause the people are so cruel.
She don’t wear no make-up, got no fancy clothes.
People called her “white trash”, but nobody knows.
Jenny’s got her mama’s eyes, pretty as can be.
Lives in condemnation, in the hills of Tennessee.
