"Jenny Jenkins" is a folk song that was popularized by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman in their collaborative album. The lyrics of the song depict an exchange between two characters, one being addressed as "Jenny Jenkins." The song revolves around the topic of the character Jenny Jenkins being asked if she would wear different colors, such as white, green, blue, yellow, brown, beige, and orange. In each verse, Jenny replies with her reasons for not wanting to wear the mentioned color. The reasons range from the color being too bright, too true, not attracting a partner, or revealing her age. Ultimately, when asked what she would wear, Jenny jokingly responds by saying she might just go bare. The song doesn't have a deep or complex meaning, but it touches on themes of personal preference, individuality, and humor. It's a light-hearted and playful tune that showcases Garcia and Grisman's folk music stylings.
