about

As a lover both of traditional and of protest songs Jenny offers this advice: “I look forward to still singing when I am 90 and encouraging others to do so. Take your voice from the shower to the streets!

lyrics

Oh my Donald he works upon the sea
In the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
As southward he roams to the home of the whale

And he ne’er thinks of me left far behind
Nor of the torments that rage in my mind
He is mine for only a part of the year
And then I’m all alone with only my tears

So ye ladies that smell of wild rose
Think ye for your perfume to where a man goes
Think ye of the women and children who mourn
For a man ne’er returned from hunting the sperm
