By the light of the moon In a foggy saloon I was drinkin my last piece of gold When a voice from behind Took away my loaded mind And it led me to my childhood and my soul Ann Eliza Jane I never thought I'd hear again The whisper of your voice so soft and true Ann Eliza Jane I heard that you'd became a queen With that satin dress you wear, it can't be you Well she looked at my clothes And she told me money grows On the branches of evil and sin For a man that may be true For a simple girl like you I say you ought to be back home and settle down Ann Eliza Jane Never thought of marrying A farmin boy and livin off the land Ann Eliza Jane I hold your vow just night and day You better pack your bags and make a decent stand (Solo) Through the haze and the gas Sure the still night came to pass When she tried to slip me four and twenty buck Now I say keep it sis And she stung me with her fists She left before I'd time to say good luck Ann Eliza Jane I think of you in gentle ways No matter what you do or where you go Ann Eliza Jane Let the good god guide your every day And erase any sin that's on your soul
