Don't Cry Joni
Written and recorded by Conway Twitty with Joni Twitty
G D7
Joni was the girl who lived next door
G
I've known her I guess ten years or more
C
Joni wrote me a note one day
D7 G
And this is what she had to say
D7
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
G
I'll grow up some day you'll see
C
Saving all my kisses just for you
D7 G
Signed with love forever true
D7
Slowly I read her note once more
G
I went over to the house next door
C
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
D7 G
When I told Joni what I had to say
D7
Joni Joni please don't cry
G
You'll forget me by and by
C
You're just fifteen I am twenty two
D7 G
And Joni I just can't wait for you
D7
Soon I left our little hometown
G
Got me a job and tried to settle down
C
But these words kept haunting my memory
D7 G
The words that Joni said to me
D7
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
G
I'll grow up some day you'll see
C
Saving all my kisses just for you
D7 G
Signed with love forever true
D7
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
G
I had to see Joni I had to explain
C
How my heart was filled with her memory
D7 G
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
D7
I ran all the way to the house next door
G
Things weren't like they were before
C
My teardrops fell like rain that day
D7 G
When I heard what Joni had to say
D7
Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry
G
You'll forget me by and by
C
It's been five years since you've been gone
D7 G
Jimmy I married your best friend John
