JEANNIE AND JOHNNY



Jeannie and Johnny both grew up together

Playmates each hour of the day

They both vowed that they would be sweethearts forever

Then one day Jeannie moved away (away, away)



Johnny was lonely, loved Jeannie only

Jeannie was sad and so blue

Their folk said, forget it, but Jeannie and Johnny

Knew that no other would do



They wrote to each other and as they grew older

Their love, much stronger, had grown

Then one day a letter from Jeannie to Johnny

Came back to her, address unknown



Johnny was lonely, loved Jeannie only

Jeannie was sad and so blue

Where Johnny had gone to she knew not the answer

But she knew she'd wait and be true



The next day poor Jeannie just couldn't stop cryin'

Though tears wouldn't come anymore

Her world seemed so empty that she felt like dyin'

Then she heard a knock on her door



And there stood her Johnny, her true lovin' Johnny

He'd come to make wedding plans

He said, oh, I love you, my Jeannie, I love you

Then he placed a ring on her hand



He placed a ring on her hand
