Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
Jenny tumbuh liar, seperti bunga daisy hitam
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
Di gubuk dengan anjing hound bercak biru
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
Miskin banget, tapi diberkahi kecantikan
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
Kecantikan yang tidak bisa ditolak oleh pria kaya

She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
Dia menarik perhatian seorang pengusaha minyak yang sedang berdansa
One summer night in a dime store dress
Suatu malam musim panas dalam gaun murah
She had the looks, he had the mansion
Dia punya wajah cantik, dia punya mansion
And you can figure out the rest
Dan kamu bisa menebak sisanya

It was all roses, dripping in diamonds
Semua terlihat manis, berkilau dengan berlian
Sipping on champagne
Menyeruput sampanye
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown
Dia terlihat anggun, mengenakan gaun putih
Taking his last name
Mengambil nama belakangnya

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
Dia bisa mendengar lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
Dan di loteng, seluruh paduan suara bernyanyi, bernyanyi
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Lipat tanganmu dan tutup matamu
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Ya, semuanya akan baik-baik saja
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Dan dengarkan saja lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
Yeah, they're ringing
Ya, mereka berbunyi

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
Jenny menjadi tuan rumah pesta Junior League
And having dinner at the country club
Dan makan malam di klub negara
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
Semua orang mengira mereka adalah Ken dan Barbie
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Tapi Ken selalu mabuk berat

Saturday night, after a few too many
Malam Sabtu, setelah terlalu banyak minum
He came home ready to fight
Dia pulang dengan siap berantem
And all his money could never save Jenny
Dan semua uangnya tidak pernah bisa menyelamatkan Jenny
From the devil living in his eyes
Dari iblis yang tinggal di matanya

It was all bruises, covered in makeup
Semua terlihat memar, tertutup riasan
Dark sunglasses
Kacamata hitam
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew
Dan pagi berikutnya, duduk di bangku belakang
Praying with the baptist
Berdoa bersama jemaat baptis

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
Dia bisa mendengar lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
Dan di loteng, seluruh paduan suara bernyanyi, bernyanyi
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Lipat tanganmu dan tutup matamu
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Ya, semuanya akan baik-baik saja
You just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Kamu hanya perlu mendengarkan lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
Yeah, they're ringing
Ya, mereka berbunyi

Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
Jenny menyelipkan sesuatu ke dalam wiski Tennessee-nya
No law man was ever gonna find
Tidak ada polisi yang akan menemukannya
And how he died is still a mystery
Dan bagaimana dia mati masih menjadi misteri
But he hit a woman for the very last time
Tapi dia memukul seorang wanita untuk terakhir kalinya

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
Dia bisa mendengar lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
Berdiri di sana mengenakan gaun hitam sambil bernyanyi, bernyanyi
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Lipat tanganmu dan tutup matamu
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Ya, semuanya akan baik-baik saja
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Dan dengarkan saja lonceng gereja berbunyi, berbunyi
Yeah, they're ringing
Ya, mereka berbunyi
