Medley: I Dream Of Jeannie/Danny Boy
Joan Baez Lyrics

I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair,
I frequently think of a woman named Jeannie who has light brown hair.

Floating like a vapor on the summer air.
I imagine that Jeannie floats through the air like a mist during the summer.

I hear her melodies like days gone by,
I can hear the songs that Jeannie used to sing, which reminds me of the past.

Sighing around my heart o'er the fond hopes that die.
Hearing Jeannie's songs makes me sad about the things that once gave me hope but never came to fruition.

Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
My sadness and pain are echoed by the night wind and rain.

Wailing for her lost love that comes not again.
I am mourning Jeannie's lost love, who will never return to her.

I dream of Jeannie and my heart bows low,
Thinking of Jeannie causes my heart to feel heavy and full of grief.

Nevermore to find her where the deep waters flow.
I know that I will never be able to reunite with Jeannie, who is lost somewhere in the waters.

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
I can hear the sound of bagpipes, which remind me of my love for Danny.

From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The sound of the bagpipes reaches me from far away, across the mountains and valleys.

The summer's gone and all the roses falling;
It is no longer summer, and the flowers are dying and falling from the vines.

It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
Danny, my love, must leave while I remain behind.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
I hope that Danny will return to me when the flowers are blooming in the meadow.

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
Alternatively, I would be happy if Danny came back when the valley is quiet and covered in snow.

It's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow;
Whether it is sunny or cloudy, I will always be there for Danny.

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
I love Danny very much, and I hope he knows this wherever he goes.
