Jennie With The Light Brown Hair 1. I dream of Jennie 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 blyth birds that warbled them o'er Oh I dream of Jennie with the light brown hair Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air. 2. I dream of Jennie with the day dawn smile Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile I rear her melodies like joys gone by Waking with the beams of her bright blue eye Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore While her snowy fingers will cull them no more Oh I dream of Jennie with the light brown hair Floating like a vapor on the soft sumr air 3. I long for Jennie, but her fair form strayed Far from the fond hearts round her native glade Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown Flitting like the dreams that have cheer'd us and gone Hark, Now the sobbing night winds are roaming on the plan Wailing for the lost one that comes not again Oh I long for Jenn and my heart bows low Never more to find her where the bright waters flow
