Jenny Wind

Ton : CCapo 4
Her fAmather was a man who knew no fEmences
Her mAmother was a woman of the tEmrail
But JAmenny Wind was bEmorn into a Fnew world
WG7hen the white man cCame
JAmenny was taught the oEmld ways
And she lAmearned to speak her father's tEmongue
When she dFied she was one of the lCast ones
And the eG7arth covered up her bCones
JAmenny Wind was born a wEmild thing
A sAmister to coyote and the sEmun
But they gAmave her a dEmress of cFalico
And they nG7amed her Jenny WCind
But the wAmhite man's ways they followed hEmer
She was bAmuried 'neath a marker made of sEmtone
And on her gFrave they carved her pCretty name
"G7Here lies the IF7ndian Jenny WCind"
BFut they say her sG7oul flies fCree
CFaring for the wG7eary and the lCost
IAmn the forest deep and qFuiet
All arG7ound the grave of Jenny WCind
IAm met Jenny on a summer nEmight
WAmalking in the Placer CEmounty
I sAmtumbled on her gEmrave in the fForest there
SG7o all alone and sCtill
I wAmondered if she cared that I fEmound her
LAmying so hidden and alEmone
I wFondered who she was before they nCamed her
"The IG7ndian Jenny WCind"
The sAmilence grew till it tEmouched me
And hAmeld me like the words upon the sEmtone
And fAmor the first tEmime I was afFraid
IG7 would not find my way hCome
I rAman from her as the night grew dEmarker
I dAmropped my glasses and I took a fEmall
Lost and bFlind somehow I fCound them
Lying fG7olded on her grave so sCmall
And I bFelieve that her sG7oul flies fCree
And it cFares for the wG7eary and the lCost
IAmn the forest deep and qFuiet
All arG7ound the grave of Jenny WCind
