Bobby Bare - Jennifer Johnson And Me Lyrics






Deep in the pocket of an old sport coat jacket
I chanced to discover an old memory
Three for a quarter black and white picture
Takin' up Jennifer Johnson and me.

I'm in the corner with my shirt collar open
Like some latin lover on late nite TV
Sittin' right there with her head on my shoulder
Jennifer Johnson she's smilin' at me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain so no one can see
Now kiss me quick while the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me.

It must have been summer nineteen-sixty-seven
The Beatles were singing that love's all you need
I held her hand while we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollars spree.

Later that night holding close in the darkness
I felt her warmth in the cool evening breeze
I told her I probably love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Jenny close a curtain so no one can see
Now kiss me quick while the red light is flashing
Flashing on Jennifer Johnson and me.

Three for a quarter black and white picture
Two young believers on a three dollars spree
I'll save your picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson did you save one of me...

    Why this song never became a major hit is a mystery to me. It sure should have been.

    Just found this song a few days ago and is now one of my favorites. If there ever was a real "tug deep at the heartstrings" song written, this has to be it. Reminds me of how unlucky I was in love most of the time. One must wonder how the two of them drifted apart. Do disagree, however, with the previous poster here who said that your hear was easier to lose in those days. I feel it's the opposite, as today most of the good single women seem to be married--to their career and smartphones.
