Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair

Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair

Lyrics : Stephen C. Foster         Sung : Stuart Burrows,tenor

                                                    Frederic John Sterevens(British)

(1)

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.  

(2)

I long for Jeanie with theday dawn smile,
Radiant in gladness warm with winning guide.
I hear her melodies like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o'er the found hopes that die.

Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Waiting for the lost one that comes not again.
Oh! Isigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air.
