Jeannie's Last Kiss

(album: 500 Miles Away From Home - 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
There she stood on the cliff with the wind in her hair
The next morning they learned that his Jeannie was dead
Girl climbing 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 calling 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
To give Jeannie one last kiss.

Come give Jeannie one last kiss...
