Song Lyrics

"Sleep Baby Jane"

by Over The Rhine
Album: Discount Fireworks

Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane.

Suicide, suicide,
Katie's talking suicide,
Homicide, homicide,
Mama killed my man,
Turpentine, turpentine,
Potion for my valentine,
Take a ride, and take it in a long black hearse.

Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane.

Vaseline, Vaseline,
Ruby's selling Vaseline,
Kerosene, kerosene,
everyone's a foetus
Chamomile, chamomile,
Someone spiked the chamomile,
Shake it, mama, shake it,
It was my idea first.

Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane,
Sleep, baby Jane.

Oh, baby Jane,
Oh, baby Jane,
Oh, baby Jane,
Oh, baby Jane.

Sleep, baby Jane, (my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby)
Sleep, baby Jane, (my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby)
Sleep, baby Jane, (my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby)
Sleep, baby Jane. (my baby, my baby, my baby, my baby)

If you think I'm Jane, let me kiss you,
If you think I'm Jane,
If you think I'm Jane, let me call you an angel.
