Jeannie there's a story they're tellin' about you
Are you really doin' the things they say you do
Jeannie they say when I'm not around
You take off your ring and go to town
Lookin' for a good time

Jeannie Marie you were a lady
You were a lady when I married you
Jeannie Marie you were a lady
You were a lady and I knew you
I remember thinkin' just this mornin' when we kissed goodbye
You were a lady

Jeannie are you really the lady that I see
Or are you something different than you appear to be
I won't stop believing in you now
Jeannie if you'll only tell me how
Do the men all know you

Jeannie Marie you were a lady...
Jeannie Marie you were a lady...
