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
John Loudermilk Darling Jane
