| Jenny, Joe & Ray Written by Damon Carroll - 05/18/2004© Capo 2nd Fret Chords: G, C Chorus: C, G Now Jenny married Joe in the spring of ‘74 They have three kids and little Joe will make four Joe loves his family more than life itself He keeps a family portrait up on his favorite shelf CHORUS Every morning Jenny fixes breakfast for Joe and the kids She washes all the clothes, she makes all the beds She goes for her bath to get ready for the day Then drives six miles down the road to spend it with Ray Now Ray used to work with Joe at the local foundry Til one day there was an accident, Ray fell on a money tree Now he spends his time at the local bar in town If he’s not making love to Jenny, he’s slammin’ down that crown CHORUS (same as first) Now this went on for months, til that fateful day With Jenny lying in the hospital, all she could do was pray After hours of labor, when that boy was born He didn’t look anything like Joe, it was definitely Ray Horn’s CHORUS Now the next morning Joe’s fixes breakfast for the kids He washes all the clothes, he makes all the beds He goes to the gun cabinet to get ready for the day Drives six miles down the road to visit his friend Ray Ray never saw it coming, he hadn’t got the word When Joe broke through the front door, he wouldn’t be deterred With Ray beggin’ for his life, Joe didn’t hear a thing Just started pulling that trigger then took off his wedding ring CHORUS He laid that ring on the ground, realized what he’d done He looked at Ray’s body, he thought of Ray’s son Glanced at the phone, wonderin’ what to do He put that gun to his head, in a flash it was through Now Jenny married Joe in the Spring of ‘74 They have three kids, now little Ray he makes four She loves those kids more than life itself She keeps a family portrait there on her favorite shelf CHORUS Every morning she fixes breakfast for all those kids She washes all the clothes, she makes all the beds She goes for her bath to get ready for the day Then drives six miles to the cemetery to visit Joe and Ray Yeah, She drives six miles to the cemetery to visit Joe and Ray |
