[Marty Robbins - Jeannie And Johnnie lyrics]
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
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
