Jane Jane

[Verse 1]

Jane, Jane, my lovely love

I'm gonna buy three pretty little birds

One for her to whistle, one for her to sing

One for her to do most anything

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

Hey, hey, my lovely love

[Chorus]

Well, I'm gonna send thee three by three

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the itty-bitty baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

[Verse 2]

Hey, hey, my lovely love

I'm gonna buy three hunting dogs

One for her to kill, one for her to shout

One for her to talk to when I go out

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

Hey, hey, my lovely love

[Chorus]

Well, I'm gonna send thee six by six

Six for the six that never got fixed

Five for the five who stayed alive

Four for the four who stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the itty-bitty baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

[Verse 3]

Hey, hey, my lovely love

I'm gonna buy three merry cows

One for her to milk, one to plow my corn

One for the breakfast on Christmas morn'

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

Hey, hey, my lovely love

[Chorus]

Well, I'm gonna send thee nine by nine

Nine for the nine that dressed so fine

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate

Seven for the seven that never got to heaven

Six for the six that never got fixed

Five for the five who stayed alive

Four for the four who stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew Children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the itty-bitty baby

Born, born, born in Bethlehem

[Verse 4]

Hey, hey, my lovely love

I'm gonna buy three little bluebirds

One for her to weep, one for her to mourn

One for her to pray, when I am gone
