Sweet Jane Lyrics - Singles - The Imagined Village

Sweet Jane 

Intro: C D C D C D C D C D 

D 

Oh come sweet Jane for I must go 

C 

Come closer to me 

D G 

My trunk is stowed on Johnsons boat 

D 

With all his company 

I heard a loud, like thunder, roar 

Out of some canons mouth 

I would be welcome safe at home 

In my sweet sunny south 

Instr. 

C D C D C D C D C D etc 

I laboured hard for seven years 

Working for my wealth 

I lived on bread and salty meat 

And I never lost my health 

I heard a loud, like thunder, roar 

Out of some ships on war 

I spied sweet Jane in all her curls 

Come stepping to the shore 

I led her through the marble halls 

And in through her fathers door 

A gay young crowd was standing round 

All standing on the floor 

Instr. 

The parson read our marriage vows 

We were wed as one soul for life 

Now Jane you are mine without a doubt 

A kind and loving wife
