Jane sweet Jane Jane sweet Jane
they can never forget you
and they won't ever let you
it hurt more than a dear John letter
thought daddy woulda taught you better
every single fella all knew Barbarella
legs so long smile so bright
shoulda never put yourself in a real firefight

your heart was supposed to be true
you was even Cat Ballou
thought you knew they loved you Jane
Jane sweet Jane Jane sweet Jane
a picture is worth a thousand words
but when you pose like Tokyo rose
the words they never mattered
with the VC on an AA gun
their hearts were forever shattered

They forgave you sweet Jane
because they just had to
you said it was your regret
they all woulda took that bet
they hated you cause they loved you
and in their memories your set
they loved and forgave you sweet Jane
but they can never forget
