Ann Eliza Jane Songtext

von Frankie Miller

By the light of the moon
In a foggy saloon
I was drinkin my last piece of gold

When a voice from behind
Took away my loaded mind
And it led me to my childhood and my soul

Ann Eliza Jane
I never thought I'd hear again
The whisper of your voice so soft and true

Ann Eliza Jane
I heard that you'd became a queen
With that satin dress you wear, it can't be you

Well she looked at my clothes
And she told me money grows
On the branches of evil and sin

For a man that may be true
For a simple girl like you
I say you ought to be back home and settle down

Ann Eliza Jane
Never thought of marrying
A farmin boy and livin off the land
Ann Eliza Jane
I hold your vow just night and day
You better pack your bags and make a decent stand

(Solo)
Through the haze and the gas
Sure the still night came to pass
When she tried to slip me four and twenty buck

Now I say keep it sis
And she stung me with her fists
She left before I'd time to say good luck

Ann Eliza Jane
I think of you in gentle ways
No matter what you do or where you go
Ann Eliza Jane
Let the good god guide your every day
And erase any sin that's on your soul
