- Verse:
- I saw a vision in the moonlight,
Down in Tennessee.
Made my decision in the moonlight,
Down in Tennessee.
Won't tell you any why or wherefore,
Somehow I know you're gonna care for,
-
- Chorus:
- Sweet Jennie Lee, from sunny
Tennessee,
- You'll love her when you
see Sweet Jennie Lee.
- Each little bird is singing
merrily,
- Just gettin' set to see
Sweet Jennie Lee.
- She's got that certain something
in her style,
- She's got bit of Heaven
in her smile.
- She promised me, that she'd
say "yes-sir-ee,"
- That's good enough for me,
Sweet Jennie Lee.
