Lyrics Ghost of Jenni Rainbyrd - Martin Newell

Ghost of Jenni Rainbyrd

I went looking for the ghost of Jenni Rainbyrd
Cause I hadn’t heard that song since 1973
So I lit a cigarette and I remembered old times great times
It was early in the evening when I went down to the sea
Down where the sea birds calling
Down where the sky is cold
Down where the tide is rolling bells were tolling
I went strolling around
I went looking for the ghost of Jenni Rainbyrd downtown around town
There was nothing on the streets but the jasmine flowers on the breeze
And the yellow gypsy lanterns in the window called me called me
And the tapping of the rain like tambourines in the trees
Back to the small town dances
Back like a rolling stone
Back but I’ve got no answers
Jenni Rainbyrd is gone and I’m all alone
I’m all alone 5239
