Jeannie And Johnny Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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
