Darling Jane - John D

Darling Jane - John D. Loudermilk (约翰尼·迪伊)

Jane and I'd been married for only a week

And were honeymooning down off miami beach

We took our rented cabin crusier way out past the reef

Doing 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 stricken so I quickly ran below

And tried to reach the coast guard on the short wave radio

I sent SOS's but no answer 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 a 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 from losin' 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
