Artist/Band: Hank Locklin
Lyrics for Song: My Blue Eyed Jane
Lyrics for Album: The Girls Get Prettier [1966]



(Jimmie Rodgers - Lullu Belle White)



The sweetest girl in all the world

Is my blue eyed Jane

We fell in love like turtle doves

While the moon was shining down.



I asked her then I asked her

When the wedding bells would ring

She said oh dear it seems so near

And this could happen here.



You're my little pal

And I never knew a sweeter gal

My little blue eyed Jane

I love you so.



And when the sun goes down

And the shadow's creeping over town

Just meet me in the lane

My blue eyed Jane.



Jannie dear, listen here

I've come to say farewell

The world is drear without you dear

But now I cannot linger here.



I'm going no way this very day

Oh, please come go with me

I'll be sad and blue awanting you

And longing all day through.



You're my blue eyed Jane

You'll always be the same sweet thing

I know you'll never change

I love you so.



And when the sun goes down

And the shadow's creeping over town

Then I'll come back again

My blue eyed Jane...
