From the recording Pure Jenny Wade
Lyrics
Pure pure Jenny Wade
Sure no war is of the Lord
But you’re bringing it to my door.
Pure pure Jenny Wade
Shot down on the very day as her fiance
You will stay pure, Jenny Wade
Oh, way to flank a Yankee
Get around Jenny Wade
Later on you’ll thank me
For laying him in his grave
Pure pure Jenny Wade
Seek not sanctuary
Step out in the light
You're in the military, son
So come on out and fight
Pure pure Jenny Wade
Ain’t no matter meek or brave
Just a headstone for the pain, c'mon
Pure pure Jenny Wade
Oh, shot down on the very day as her fiance
Stay pure Jenny Wade
Oh, will you stay
Pure pure Jenny Wade
