John Loudermilk - Darling Jane lyrics

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
