Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair

I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air

I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow

I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glad
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them not more
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air

Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair
Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair
Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair

I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glad
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them not more
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
