Lyrics

JELLYBEANS by Scott Detweiler

She’d been in training for the convent
Donning veil and rosary
After mass she goes home cryin
Drops of fear fall tearfully
Back in May she met a man from Boston
On the streetcar line
Though they didn’t talk for long she found it
Such a pleasant time

Agatha Henry your fence walk is hard
Keys to your lock you will find
Trust in your conscience and follow you heart
Agatha Henry there is time

There is time for you

The sisters asked her pointed questions
Is she going out again?
So she tells a tale to tame suspicion
As she goes to meet her man
But miles away they frolicked in the Quarter
Walking glove in glove
Now she isn’t thinking of the convent
As she falls in love

Agatha Henry your fence walk is hard
Keys to your lock you will find
Trust in your conscience and follow you heart
Agatha Henry there is time

Miss Henry wed the man from Boston
No more habit no more veil
Through the love she finds inside
Of the life she chose to lead
She grows closer to her maker
Than she ever thought that she could ever be
