SEEING JENNIE HOME.
Copyright, MDCCCXCIV, by Henry J. Wehman.
Words and Music by Geo. C. Edwards.
Arranged by F. W. Meacham.

I have an only Jennie, she is most wondrous fair,
And ev'ry day I meet her on the corner of the square;
Then arm in arm together we are happy as we roam,
And so sweetly ends the evening in seeing Jennie home.

Chorus.
Seeing Jennie home, oh, what joy it gives me;
Heart so true, eyes so blue, golden hair has my Jennie.
Seeing Jennie home, oh, what joy it gives me;
Ev'ry night 'tis my delight seeing Jennie home.

Just seventeen is Jennie, she is so shy and coy,
With smiles she always greets me, and it fills my heart with joy;
No wonder I am envied when with Jennie dear I roam,
And alone have all the pleasure of seeing Jennie home.- Chorus.

The time seems long in coming when marriage bells will ring,
And birds, the pleasure sharing, in the trees will sweetly sing;
When the wedding march resounding like the Chorus of a poem,
And on my arm so proudly I'll take my Jennie home.- Chorus.
