Jennie and Me | ||
Words and Music by Dottie Burman | ||
Jennie grew up In the house next to mine. We were good friends From the time we were four. Sharing our laughter And sharing our tears. Sharing our dreams Of what life had in store. Chorus: Both of our houses Seemed almost the same High on a hill Overlooking the sea. I'd play in her garden She'd play in mine. Somehow her grass Seemed much greener to me. Jennie was married When she was eighteen. Raised up her children Till now they are grown. I've rambled round the world Singing my songs. Jennie's still married And I live alone. Chorus: Jennie and I Went out walking tonight. She told me she'd always Been envying me. Envied the hours I followed my dreams. Envied the days I was growing and free. Chorus: Both of our houses Seemed almost the same High on a hill Overlooking the sea. I'd play in her garden She'd play in mine. Somehow her grass Seemed much greener to me. Much greener to me. |
