Lyrics
- Just a country lane
Just a girl named Jane
Just a summer night in June
Just a college boy
Bubbling up with joy
Thinking of a honeymoon
Just the time to speak
Just a blushing cheek
Just the drooping of a pretty head
Just a moments bliss
Wrapp’d up in a kiss
Answering the boy who softly said
Chorus
Jane, I love to greet you
When I meet you coming down the lane
Jane, I have been waiting
Hesitating many weeks in vain
Jane, there is a feeling on me stealing
That I can’t explain
If you’ll slip your finger
Through this ring and let it linger
I’ll be happy, Jane
- Jane became a wife
Lived a happy life
That was many years ago
Time brought on a change
Faces now are strange
Where she met her college beau
Still the same old moon
Same old month of June
Comes around in just the same old way
Just the same old lane
But another Jane
And another boy who loves to say
