lyrics

Been gone a long, long while,
Walked many a lonely mile,
To fine my way back home to you,
But I’d give all those years,
And yesterday’s tears,
Just for you, just for you, just for you.

Been gone a long, long while,
Walked many a lonely mile,
To fine my way back home to you,
But I’d give all those years,
And yesterday’s tears,
Just for you, just for you, just for you.

Every bed, every lay,
Every which and every way,
All turned out to be you,
So it’s a whiskey and a lie,
To keep me company till I die,
Without you, without you, without you.
No matter who, No matter how,
No matter what you say, I’ll never believe it now,
No matter why, no matter where,
You gambled me away, and I don’t care.
Too far to go back now,
How could I anyhow,
Can’t find my way without you,
Looks like it’s all been a game,
With only me to blame,
Losing you, losing you, losing you.
Every town, every road,
Every story that you told,
All turned out to be you,
So it’s a whiskey and a lie,
To keep me company till I die.
Without you, without you, without you.

about

Orphan Jane New York, New York

Orphan Jane is circus tents and gypsies, traditional blues and vaudeville, a dear friend of whom you're just a little afraid. Like a drink cut with sharp mandolins, wheezing accordions and thrilling falsettos, chased by the driving lines of a standup bass. A vocalist equal parts Lotte Lenya and Little Mermaid with a band of hooligans growling close behind. Classic American folk tradition made new. ... more
