I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hairBorne, like a vapor, on the summer airI see her tripping where the bright streams playHappy as the daisies that dance on her wayMany were the wild notes her merry voice would pourMany were the blithe birds that warbled them o'erOh! I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hairFloating, like a vapor, on the soft, summer airI long for Jeannie with the day dawn smileRadiant in gladness, warm with winning guileI hear her melodies, like joys gone bySighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that dieSighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rainWailing for the lost one that comes not againOh! I long for Jeannie, and my heart bows lowNever more to find her where the bright waters flowI sigh for Jeannie, but her light form strayedFar from the fond hearts round her native gladeHer smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flownFlitting like the dreams that have cheered us and goneNow the nodding wild flow'rs may wither on the shoreWhile her gentle fingers will cull them no moreOh! I sigh for Jeannie with the light brown hairFloating like a vapor, on the soft summer air Aus Songtexte Mania
