Rolling Stones - Lady Jane



My sweet Lady Jane

When I see you again

Your servant am I

And will humbly remain

Just heed this plea my love

On bended knees my love

I pledge myself to Lady Jane

My dear Lady Anne

I've done what I can

I must take my leave

For promised I am

This play is run my love

Your time has come my love

I've pledged my troth to Lady Jane

Oh my sweet Marie

I wait at your ease

The sands have run out

For your lady and me

Wedlock is nigh my love

Her station's right my love

Life is secure with Lady Jane
