SHE LOO'S ME BEST O' ANY
As simmer to the mountain
As blossoms to the bee
To thirst as is the fountain
Sae is Jeannies love to me
Fer dearly I love Jeannie
And Jeannie she loos me
As blossoms to the bee
To thirst as is the fountain
Sae is Jeannies love to me
Fer dearly I love Jeannie
And Jeannie she loos me
Where I talked to Jeannie
The place I winna tell
I loo'd her best o any
She loo'd me just as well
Sae where I walk'd wi Jeannie
The place I wanna tell
The place I winna tell
I loo'd her best o any
She loo'd me just as well
Sae where I walk'd wi Jeannie
The place I wanna tell
Why the rose turned like the Lily
I am sure I canna tell
But there I kiss'd my Jeannie
Where the thorn grew by itsel
For well knows winsome Jeannie
That I love her love her well
I am sure I canna tell
But there I kiss'd my Jeannie
Where the thorn grew by itsel
For well knows winsome Jeannie
That I love her love her well
1053
There the rose turn'd to the lily
I never ask'd her why
'Twas there I stole a kiss from Jeannie
But she made no reply
Sweet love within her heart has Jeannie
And beauty in her eye
I never ask'd her why
'Twas there I stole a kiss from Jeannie
But she made no reply
Sweet love within her heart has Jeannie
And beauty in her eye
I never wanner down the lane
Atween the late and early
The thorn tree seems the maid her sel
I always think o Jeannie
I always think and ever will
She loo's me best o any
Atween the late and early
The thorn tree seems the maid her sel
I always think o Jeannie
I always think and ever will
She loo's me best o any
