Davie's dead and Jeannie's cryin'
Davie loved Jeannie there's no denyin'
But the Devil won this one tonight
True love lost another fight
Davie's gone and Jeannie's lonely
Davie was her one and only
But she bought the line that they all sold her
And she told Davie that it was all over
Davie tried to keep on goin'
But life got too damn hard just knowin'
His broken heart would not get better
Davie tried, it couldnt knock together
They found him in his pickup truck
Upon the dash, a note he stuck
Said "Jeannie darlin',
Please forgive me
But I just cant go on
Without you with me"
No no no
Too late Jeannie realized
The dog in the manger told the lies
Now she brings her Davie flowers
Counts the days, counts the hours
Someday she knows that she
Will be with him
And she'll tell him that she loves him
And Scratch will curse and he'll kick the ground
'Cause in the end true love will win
The final round
The final round
Davie's dead and Jeannie's cryin'
Davie's dead and Jeannie's cryin'
Davie's dead and Jeannie's cryin'
