Jeannie and Johnny both grew up Playmates each hour of the day They both vowed that they would be sweethearts 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 other would do
They wrote to each other and as they grew Their love, much stronger, had grown Then one day a letter from Jeannie to Johnny Came back to her, address unknown
Johnny was lonely, Jeannie only Jeannie was sad and so blue Where Johnny had gone to knew not the answer But she knew she'd wait and be true
The next day poor Jeannie just couldn't stop cryin' tears wouldn't come anymore Her world seemed so empty that she felt like dyin' Then she heard a knock her door
And there her Johnny, her true lovin' Johnny He'd come to make wedding plans He said, oh, I love you, my Jeannie, I you Then he placed a ring on her hand
