Oh Jenny, take me home,
I promise you I'll no more roam,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight;
I travelled east, north, west and south,
This Newfie heart's all gypsied out,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight.
This knapsack that I'm carrying is the only thing I own,
I'd like to plant my feet upon our shore;
I'm all done this travelling, no more will I roam,
Oh Jenny, won't you take me home?
Oh Jenny, take me home,
I promise you I'll no more roam,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight;
I travelled east, north, west and south,
This Newfie heart's all gypsied out,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight.
Remember back when we were young and we were still in school,
Used to dream of places we would go;
But after years of drifting, baby, I have grown tired,
Oh Jenny, won't you take me home?
Oh, Jenny, take me home,
I promise you I'll no more roam,
Oh, Jenny, take me home tonight;
I travelled east, north, west and south,
This Newfie heart's all gypsied out,
Oh, Jenny, take me home tonight.
We'll build a silver cabin somewhere way back in the woods,
Where we can go out fishing in the rain;
And evenings we can take the boat and paddle around the pond,
Oh Jenny, we've been gone too long.
Oh Jenny, take me home,
I promise you I'll no more roam,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight;
I travelled east, north, west and south,
This Newfie heart's all gypsied out,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight.
Oh Jenny, take me home,
I promise you I'll no more roam,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight;
I travelled east, north, west and south,
This Newfie heart's all gypsied out,
Oh Jenny, take me home tonight.
