Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair

Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair - Thomas Hampson

Composed by：Stephen Collins Foster

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

I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile

Radiant in gladness warm with winning guile

I hear her melodies like joys gone by

Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die

Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain

Wailing for the lost one that comes not again

Oh I long for Jeanie and my heart bows low

Never more to find her where the bright waters flow

Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore

While her gentle fingers will cull them no more

Oh I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair

Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air
