Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane - The Imagined Village

Oh come sweet Jane for I must go

Come closer to me

My trunk is stowed on Johnsons boat

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

Ah ah ah

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

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

A loving wife
