It's been ten long and lonely years since I've been to my hometown I saw fame and fortune which I finally found Everyone at home may know me and they say that I'm a big man A hometown boy that made good and he's back home again But there's a face in my mem'ry that's stands out from all the rest A face of someone special the girl I still love best Well I asked my mom about Jeannie she said she married yesterday Please don't try to see her son it had to be this way Then my eyes fill with tears as I turn back the years To a love I once had when she was mine Jeannie Norman was her name and I'd give up all my fame Just to hold Jeannie close one more time Then my eyes fill with tears... Just to hold Jeannie close one more time
