"Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair"

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
