Jeannie

[Verse 1]
Dear Jeannie with the soft-borne smile
Thank you for your line
I haven't heard a word from you
For such a long time

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry to hear
That your mother has died
Every time I stayed with you
To me she was so kind

[Verse 3]
Since you left me, Jeannie dear
I seem to be much worse
I've almost lost my mind
From this not so modern curse

[Verse 4]
All my friends that once I knew
Don't talk to me now
And my ever-growin' love for you
Becomes a larger scar

[Verse 5]
Your letter keeps me sane awhile
Like a lull in a storm
But I feel my words to you
Are a million times to warn

[Verse 6]
I hope that if you bring yourself
To give your love again
This time you'll find a braver man
Not addicted to cocaine

[Verse 7]
I'm sorry, dearest Jeannie dear
But this line must be my last
So weak of body and mind am I
That I don't think I've long to last
