Escape Of Jennie Wiley

Here's a story that really happened in Kentucky long ago

There was a lady named Jenny Wiley

Who was captured by the Indians at her home

Then they took her to their village

There they tied her with a log

For days and nights, she was their prisoner

Her only friend, a little dog

So one day, she got the courage

And she tried to get away

But they caught her at the foothills

By the waters of Big Mud Lake

Then they took her back to their village

After all her grief and strife

Now she knew the Indians were angry

And she thought they'd take her life

She planned through all her misery

How to make a fast escape

Then she started on her journey

For a chance she had to take

She traveled through the woodlands

Over hills and valleys deep

The Indians were so close behind her

She could hear the Indian chief

He would call for Jenny Wiley

"Where are you?" he would say

But the workmen at Sandy River

Helped Jenny Wiley get away
