Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Put your arms around me, Baby Jane'
Subject: LYRIC ADD: Baby Jane by the Ballantraes
"Baby Jane" by the Ballantraes, written by B Bond

(Chorus) Come put your arms around me, Baby Jane
Come tell me that your feelings are the same
I will meet you on the corner with a five dollar bill
And I can tell how much you love me by the change

Well, it was raining hard when I woke up this morning
The sight to greet my eyes was very strange
Well, her farewell note was written with lipstick on the mirror
And simply signed 'Your Darling, Baby Jane'

(Music break)

And they found me on the sidewalk Sunday Morning
And they said that I'd been lying there for days
And they said that I just laid in that old jail house for hours
Just a-crying for my darling Baby Jane

(Chorus)

(Chorus fade)

I was unable to find out much about either the group or the songwriter.

A big thank you to GUEST,Anon: 26 May 21 - 09:43 PM for the link to the 45 rpm, because without that I suspect the song would have drifted into obscurity.

Last, here's a hot-link to the song.
