Jeannie's Last Kiss Lyrics - Bobby Bare

The moon hid its light and the midnight was still 

And they had their last quarrel on top of the hill 

And she said to him, please, as they stood in the mist 

If we must part this way, come, give Jeannie one last kiss 

But in anger he turned, with no kiss and no care 

There she stood on the cliff, with the wind in her hair 

The next mornin' they learned that his Jeannie was dead 

Girl climbin' and slipped, all the newspapers said 

Then night after night, when the moon hides its light 

The wind's in the mist, seem to cry out his name and call him again 

Come, give Jeannie one last kiss 

Years have gone by and they talk of him still 

And the voice that was callin' from the top of the hill 

And they tell of the night that he ran from his door 

How he ran toward the cliff, then was heard from, no more 

Now, night after night, when the moon hides its light 

And the wind's in the mist, all the old people swear 

That he's out there somewhere
