Darling Jane Songtext

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
