Jeannie and Johnny both up together 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 but Jeannie and Johnny Knew that no other would do
They wrote to each other and as 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, Jeannie only Jeannie was sad and so blue Where Johnny had to she knew not the answer But she knew she'd wait and be true
The next day poor Jeannie just couldn't cryin' Though tears wouldn't come anymore Her world seemed so empty that she felt like Then she heard a knock on 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 love you Then he placed a ring on hand
