Riley Jeannie C - Run Jeannie Run - Sözleri

I was born a way back, 


in the hills, in a shack 


the oldest child of ten


On one hot and sultry day 


mama got sick and passed away


Givin' birth to baby brother Ben


I stood there and I cried 


as I watched my mama die


I guess I was too young to understand


Papa didn't shed a tear 


or even really seem to care


I thought it was because he was a man


When mama was laid to rest 


pa said Jeannie do your best


I'm leavin' but I won't be gone long


The town was many miles away 


where papa seemed to wanna stay


So soon after mama had gone





Then it was work Jeannie work Jeannie work Jeannie work


The hard times had just begun


Yes it's work Jeannie work Jeannie work Jeannie work 


for Jeannie there was no fun





Papa started drinkin' wine 


and chasin' women all the time


And livin' off the fat of the land


We children did the best we could 


milked the cows and chopped the wood


And ate what mama left us canned


One day the sheriff walked in 


to notify the next of kin 


papa was run over by a train


It had been almost a year 


since papa left us there 


we were sorry but really felt no pain


The sheriff said that day 


children can't live this way


Said he'd send someone to take us into town


That night I said goodbye 


my little brothers and sisters cried


But I ran away so far I'd not be found


 


And now it's run Jeannie run Jeannie run Jeannie run 


Jeannie's gonna find some fun


Yeah it's run Jeannie run Jeannie run Jeannie run 


run and find you some fun
