Jane, Jane Lyrics

Hey Hey (Jane, Jane), my Lord and Lord (Jane, Jane)
I'm a gonna buy (Jane, Jane), three mockin' birds (Jane, Jane)
One for to whistle (Jane, Jane), one for to sing (Jane, Jane)
One for to do (Jane, Jane) most any little thing (Jane, Jane)

(Chorus)
Children go where I sent thee, how shall I send thee
Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord

Well I'm gonna send thee three by three , three for the Hebrew Children
Two for the Paul and Silas , one for the little-bitty baby
That's born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord, I'm a gonna buy three hunting dogs
One for to run, one for to shout,, one for to talk to when I go out (Chorus)

Well I'm gonna send thee six by six, six for the six that never got fixed
Five for the five that stayed alive, four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew Children, Two for the Paul and Silas,
One for the little-bitty baby Ttat's born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord, I'm gonna buy three muley cows
One for to milk, one to plow my corn, one for to pray on Christmas morn (Chorus)

Well I'm gonna send thee nine by nine, nine for the nine that dressed so fine
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate, seven for the seven that came from heaven
Six for the six that never got fixed, five for the five that stayed alive
Four for the four that stood at the door, three for the Hebrew Children
Two for the Paul and Silas, one for the little-bitty baby
That's born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord,
I'm a-gonna buy three little blue birds
One for to wh'le, one for to mourn,
One for to pray when I am gone.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
