"Jennie's Last Kiss" lyrics

Jennie's Last Kiss

Come give Jennie one last kiss

The moon hid its light
And the midnight was still
And they had their last quarrel
On top of the hill
And she said to him please
As they stood in the mist
If we must part this way
Come give Jennie one last kiss

But in anger he turned
With no kiss and no care
There she stood on the cliff
With the wind in her hair
The next morning they learned
That his Jennie was dead
"Girl climbing and slipped"
All the newspapers said

Then night after night
When the moon hides its light
The wind is in the mist
Seem to cry out his name
And call him again
Come give Jennie one last kiss

Years have gone by
And they talk of him still
And the voice that was calling
From the top of the hill
And they tell of the night
That he ran from his door
How he ran toward the cliff
Then was heard from no more

Now night after night
When the moon hides its light
And the wind is in the mist
All the old people swear
That he's out there somewhere
To give Jennie one last kiss
Come give Jennie one last kiss
