Introduction
Have you ever come across a song that feels like a delightful secret from the past? That’s exactly how I felt when I first listened to “Jeanie Norman” by Joe Brown. It’s this charming tune from the early ’60s that instantly transports you back to the golden days of rock ‘n’ roll. The melody is so catchy and upbeat, you can’t help but tap your feet. Joe Brown’s vocals carry a warmth and sincerity that make the story of Jeanie come alive. It’s like flipping through an old photo album filled with fond memories and timeless moments. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded of the simple joys and the enduring power of a good song to lift your spirits. If you haven’t given it a listen yet, you’re in for a real treat!

Lyrics
It’s been ten long and lonely years since I’ve been to my hometown
I saw fame and fortune which I finally found
Everyone at home may know me and they say that I’m a big man
A hometown boy that made good and he’s back home again
But there’s a face in my memory that’s stands out from all the rest
A face of someone special the girl I still love best
Well I asked my mom about Jeannie she said she married yesterday
Please don’t try to see her son it had to be this way
Then my eyes fill with tears as I turn back the years
To a love I once had when she was mine
Jeannie Norman was her name and I’d give up all my fame
Just to hold Jeannie close one more time
Then my eyes fill with tears
Just to hold Jeannie close one more time
