Poor Jenny

lyrics

Poor Jenny

Poor Jenny was a girl of the night
Down on Lower Robert Street
Poor Jenny wasn't strong enough to fight
Where the hollow tunnels meet

In the heart of old London Town
No one heard the kicking of her feet
Jenny's killer swung that hammer to the ground
Down on Lower Robert Street

The Victoria took the Adelphi
Away from the flowing Thames
Then the criminals took poor Jenny
Down to where all rivers end

Some say you can hear the ghost of Jenny scream
When the witching hour crows
Where the road marks the end of Jenny's dreams
And Lower Robert Street is closed
