Sweet Jane [Live at Max’s Kansas City- Version 1]

[Verse 1]

Standin' on a corner

Suitcase in my hand

Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest

And me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band Huh

Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim

Ya know, those were different times

All, all the poets studied rules of verse

And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

[Chorus]

Sweet Jane, whoa-uh!

Sweet Jane, oh-ho-uh!

Sweet Jane

[Verse 2]

I'll tell ya sump'n' now

Jack, he is a banker

And Jane, she is a clerk

And both of them save their monies

When they get home from work

Oooh! Sittin' down by the fire, ohhh!

The radio does play

The classical music there, Jim

"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"

All you protest kids

You can hear Jack say, ah

[Chorus]

(Get ready ya'll)

Sweet Jane

(C'mon baby doll)

Sweet Jane oh-oh-oh-oh-uh!

Sweet Jane

[Verse 3]

Some people, they like to go out dancin'

And other peoples, they have to work, just watch me now!

And there's even some evil mothers

Well, they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

You know that, women never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!

And that, you know, children are the only ones who blush!

And that, life is, just to die

[Chorus]

And anyone who ever had a heart, oh!

They wouldn't turn around and break it

And anyone who ever played a part, whoa!

They wouldn't turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane, whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

[Bridge 2]

Heavenly wine and roses

Seem to whisper to her when he smiles

Heavenly wine and roses

Seem to whisper to her, hey when she smiles

La lala lala la, la lala lala la

La lala lala la, la lala lala la

[Outro]

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane

Sweet Jane
