Darling Jane Lyrics

Darling Jane lyrics

Jane and I had been married for only a week
And were honey mooning down off Miami Beach
We took our rented cabin cruiser way out past the reef
Doin' as we pleased
Just my Jane and me.
I was on the starboard bow, baiting a hook
Jane was taking a sunbath and reading a book
And all at once the southern sky grew dark and it started to rain
The anchor chain began to strain, the breeze became, a hurricane
I was panic-striken, so I quickly ran below
And tried to reach the coast guard on the short wave radio
I sent S.O.S.'s, but no anwer ever came
I called to Jane, but the wind and rain, had given Jane, to the hurricane
All night long I searched through roaring waves and driving rain
And over hundred mile per hour winds, but all in vain
I was torn and bleeding and I cursed the hurricane
Used the name of God in vain.
I was insane, for losing Jane
Now the morning sun is hot, the seas are calm once more
And the breeze is gentle as I head the boat for shore
My eyes can't help the crying and my heart can't help the pain
That's in my brain, from losing Jane, my everything, my darling Jane
