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 wherefor,
Somehow I know you're gonna care for

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 a bit of Heaven in her smile.
She promised me
that she'd say "Yes Siree,"
That's good enough for me
Sweet Jennie Lee!

Sweet Jennie Lee,

Each little bird

Just gettin' set to see
sweet Jennie Lee.
She's got that certain something in her style,
She's got a bit of Heaven in her smile.
She promised me
that she'd say "Yes Siree,"
That's good enough for me
Sweet Jennie Lee!

You'll see the glory of the southern skies
in her eyes a shine.
Life's sweetest story I shall realize
when I make her mine.
That I'm real lucky, I'm confessing,
I've got the girl who got me guessing.

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 a bit of Heaven in her smile.
She promised me
that she'd say "Yes Siree,"
That's good enough for me
Sweet Jennie Lee!
