VERSE 01:"While the evening shades are falling, Jennie dear,/ All alone I linger by the old mill stream,/ Many happy days recalling Jennie dear,/ Of our childhood time when you were sweet sixteen./ By the stile I stopped to whisper words of cheer,/ And you said you loved me when I went away;/ But you soon forgot your promise, Jennie dear,/ And the gentle words you loved to hear me say." CHORUS: "After they gather the hay,/ after they harvest the grain,/ After the roses of Summer,/ we'll be together again;/ Wait for my Jennie my own,/ don't let your heart turn away;/ Say you'll be true and I'll come to you,/ after they gather the hay." VERSE 02: "Do you ever long to see me, Jennie dear?/ Do you miss me when the evening lights are low?/ Do you wonder if I'm happy, Jennie dear?/ Does your hear with tender recollections glow?/ Have you kept the little picture that I gave,/ As I cherish yours and oft-times fondly view?/ Do you pray that I'll be brave, my Jennie dear,/ And do you recall my last fond words to you?" | |
