Jeannie and Johnny 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 Jeannie was sad and so blue Their folk said, forget 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 a 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 she'd wait and be true
The day poor Jeannie just couldn't stop cryin' Though tears wouldn't come anymore Her 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 to make wedding plans He said, oh, I love you, my Jeannie, I love you he placed a ring on her hand
