Lyrics
- 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
- 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
