Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark - Live at Sevier County High School, Sevierville, TN - April 1970

Her two little feet would come running into
 Our bedroom almost every night
 Her soft little face would be wet from her tears
 And her little heart pounding with fright
 She'd hold out her arms, then she'd climb in beside us
 In her small voice, we'd hear her remark
 "Mommie and Daddy, can I sleep here with you
 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"
 One day in the summer, we took some flowers
 To place on some old family graves
 Jeannie said, "Mommy, ain't it dark in the ground
 Oh, Daddy, I'd be so afraid"
 Then she looked up at her daddy and me
 And said somethin' that broke both our hearts
 She said, "If I die, please don't bury me
 'Cause Jeannie's afraid of the dark"

 Jeannie was always afraid of the dark
 And we never could understand why
 'Cause we looked after eannie with the very best of care
 Because Jeannie was our only child
 Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of
 'Cause it took her one dark stormy night
 I think we always knew that we'd never see Jeannie grown
 'Cause it seemed she was destined to die
 But on Jeannie's grave, we placed an eternal flame
 That glows and never loses its spark
 And on the darkest night, there's always a light
 'Cause jeannie's afraid of the dark
 Our Jeannie's afraid of the dark
