Jenny (ExtraOrdinary Remix)

[Verse 1: Kate Rusby]
I'll sing you a song and a merry song
Concerning Yorkshire Jen
Who never yet ran with horse or mare
But ran just now and then
When she came to Newmarket town
The sportsmen viewed in round
And oh, the cry was, "Alas, poor wench
She'll never run this ground"

[Chorus: Kate Rusby]
'Cause she was ordinary
Hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone

[Verse 2: Kate Rusby]
When they came to the starting post
The mare looked very smart
And let them all say what they will
She never lost her start
When they came to the two-mile post
Poor Jen was cast behind
And how they laughed and how they jeered
But Jen she did not mind

[Chorus: Kate Rusby & Damien O'Kane]
'Cause she was ordinary
Hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary
Hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone

[Verse 3: Kate Rusby]
When they came to the three-mile post
The mare looked very pale
She lay her ears on her bonnie neck
And past all of them did sail
"Come follow me, come follow me
You all will not forget
None of you will catch me again
And I'll make you all to sweat"

[Chorus: Kate Rusby & Damien O'Kane]
'Cause she was ordinary
Hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary
Hasn't got any
Hasn't got anyone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Kate Rusby]
When she came to the winning post
The whole crowd gave a cheer
Showered with love from the jockey lad
She jumped like any deer
The jockey said, "This race you've won
This race for me you've got
And you could gallop it all again
When the rest could hardly trot"

[Chorus: Kate Rusby & Damien O'Kane]
'Cause she was ordinary
Hadn't got any
Hadn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary
Hadn't got any
Hadn't got anyone
'Cause she was ordinary
Hadn't got any
Hadn't got anyone
She hadn't got anyone
