Story Behind The Song

This is an oldie - first real country song I wrote.

Lyrics

Country Jane was a country maiden
I just worked on the Santa Fe-Tupelo Line
Her father was a banker down in Phoenix Arizona
My daddy stayed at home, became a servant to his wine

Country Jane
You're a woman fine and sweet
And the roses on your cheeks enhance your eyes
If you find a place for someone there
Deep inside your heart
Please bring it home to me
Because the days are going by

She had a perfect lover who was talk and dark and handsome
And had the things not many men could buy
But greenbacks couldn't bring the joy to Jane's sweet smiling face
So she leaves the porch at night to go
Out back the house and cry

Country Jane
You're a woman fine and sweet
And the roses on your cheeks enhance your eyes
If you find a place for someone there
Deep inside your heart
Please bring it home to me
Because the days are going by

One night I went to see her in the summershine that bathed us
While the crickets and the angels played a song
Her jealous lover stepped into the orchard by the graveyard
He waited with a gun knowing I would come along

When dawn had come I knew that it was time to b a leavin'
So I kissed her on the head and said "Good Bye."
She waved to me for hours as I strolled along the meadow
She bent to pick a daisy
Then she turned to watch me die

Country Jane
You're a woman fine and sweet
And the roses on your cheeks enhance your eyes
If you find a place for someone there
Deep inside your heart
Please bring it home to me
Because the days are going by
