Lyr Req: Jane Melissy

From: GUEST,Cindy

All of my mom’s siblings and mom are gone now. I have just a couple of lines to this song that they told me my grandfather sang all the time. My Aunt told me it was called JANE MELISSY. All I have on lyrics is:

When I first fell in Love with Jane Melissy,
on her face she wore a pleasant little smile,
I threw my arms around and tried to kiss her,
but she said go away, I do not like your style.

My aunt also said something about a wooden leg, and a glass eye or something like that is also in the song. I would so very much like to have the lyrics to this so I can add for my children in my genealogy works.

Thanks in advance
