Marty Robbins - Jeannie And Johnnie lyrics

rate me

Jeannie and Johnny both grew up together<br />

Playmates each hour of the day<br />

They both vowed that they would be sweethearts forever<br />

Then one day Jeannie moved away (away, away)<br />

<br />

Johnny was lonely, loved Jeannie only<br />

Jeannie was sad and so blue<br />

Their folk said, forget it, but Jeannie and Johnny<br />

Knew that no other would do<br />

<br />

They wrote to each other and as they grew older<br />

Their love, much stronger, had grown<br />

Then one day a letter from Jeannie to Johnny<br />

Came back to her, address unknown<br />

<br />

Johnny was lonely, loved Jeannie only<br />

Jeannie was sad and so blue<br />

Where Johnny had gone to she knew not the answer<br />

But she knew she'd wait and be true<br />

<br />

The next day poor Jeannie just couldn't stop cryin'<br />

Though tears wouldn't come anymore<br />

Her world seemed so empty that she felt like dyin'<br />

Then she heard a knock on her door<br />

<br />

And there stood her Johnny, her true lovin' Johnny<br />

He'd come to make wedding plans<br />

He said, oh, I love you, my Jeannie, I love you<br />

Then he placed a ring on her hand<br />

<br />

He placed a ring on her hand
