lyrics

Well I'll never forget that day I met my little felon out of Santa Fe.
She's chain-gangin' on the side of the road, picking up trash from here to San Antone.
Jumpsuit Jenny - she's ornery as a feral cat.
Better be careful with that kitty, she'll get you like a heart attack.

Well, I followed that state bus home, pulled over and got my lawyer on the telephone.
I told him, "Hey Buddy, wind, sleet or hail - you get the money, man and throw her bail"
Jumpsuit Jenny - she's ornery as a feral cat.
Better be careful with that kitty, she'll get you like a heart attack.

- She came at me with her eyes ablaze
- First taste of life she'd had in days
- She must be hidin' that heart of gold
- Come on Jenny don't you lose control.

First thing she did when I got her home - stripped off that orange jumpsuit and began to roam. From room to room, checking out every door.
I knew I had that felon when she hollered for more.
Jumpsuit Jenny - she's ornery as a feral cat.
Better be careful with that kitty, she'll get you like a heart attack.
