JEANNIE'S LAST KISS
(Bobby Bare / Charlie Williams)


Bobby Bare - 1963



        

(Come give Jeannie one last kiss)

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
As 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 is in the mist
Seems to cry out his name and call him again
Come give Jeannie one last kiss

The 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 is in the mist
All the old people swear that he's out there somewhere
To give Jeannie one last kiss
Come give Jeannie one last kiss
