Thank you folks so much.
You know, Miss Dolly, incidentally all these duets we're doing were written by Miss Dolly Parton.
And here is a song that she wrote that's the most requested number that we do on our television show or on our personal appearances.
I hope you'll enjoy it here at Dolly Parton Day.
Number titled, Jeannie's Afraid of the Dark.
[F] [C]
[G] [C]
Her two little feet would come running into [F] our bedroom almost every [C] night.
Her soft little [C] face would be wet from her [F] tears and her little heart pounding [C] with pride.
She'd [G] hold out her arms [C] and she'd climb in beside us [F] in a small voice we'd hear [C] her remark.
[F] Mommy and Daddy, [C] can I sleep here with you?
[G] Cause Jeannie's afraid [C] of the dark.
One [G] day in the summer [C] we [G] took some flowers [F] to place on some old [C] family graves.
Jeannie [G] said, Mommy, [C] ain't it [G] dark underground?
[F] Oh Daddy, I'd be [C] so afraid.
And then [G] she looked up at [C] her Daddy [G] and me and [F] said something that broke both [C] our hearts.
[F] She said, if I die, don't bury [G] me, cause Jeannie's afraid of [C] the dark.
[A] [D]
[G] Jeannie [D] was always afraid of the [G] dark and we never could [D] understand why.
Cause [A] we looked after Jeannie [D] with the very best of care, [G]
cause Jeannie was our [D] only child.
Perhaps it was death that she was so afraid of, [G]
cause it took her one dark stormy [D] night.
I think we always knew [D] that we'd never see Jeannie [A] groan, cause it seemed that she was destined [D] to die.
But on Jeannie's [A] grave we placed [D] an eternal flame [A]
[G] that glows and never loses its [D] spark.
And on [G] the darkest night there's [D] always a light, [E]
cause Jeannie's afraid of the [D] dark.
Our [A] Jeannie's afraid of [D] the dark.
