Lyrics

  1. She was just a country maiden
    He was just a country lad
    But his heart was heavy laden
    Feeling so very sad
    She had promised him to marry
    And had named the wedding day
    But each time, she changed her mind
    Then I heard him say

Chorus
Jane, my little Jane
Just like music the sound of your name
Jane, my little Jane
You’re like sunshine that follows the rain
I love you, Jane, we’ll stroll again
To our old trysting place down the lane
Where I whispered, “Dear, I love you”
Jane, my Jane

  1. They went strolling in the wildwood
    To their dear old trysting place
    She remembered days of childhood
    Smiles lighting up her face
    Then she said she truly loved him
    And would marry right away
    In the trees, the birds and bees
    Sang this roundelay
