From the hills of North Dakota to the swamps of Louisianne

I would travel ‘cross this country, just to take your hand,

Sarah Jane, Oh, Sarah Jane.

There are other lovers, scattered in my past

You were not my first, but you’ll surely be my last

Sarah Jane, oh, sweet darlin’, Sarah Jane.

I know loneliness can find you,

When the work takes me a-way

But let these words remind you,

Sarah, if you need me, I’ll be there in a day\t

I can see it all so clearly, with every passing mile,

I was born to love you, born to make you smile

Sarah Jane, oh, sweet darlin’, Sarah Jane.

There will come some sweet tomorrow,

When we’ll forget our lonely yester-days

We’ll leave behind all those tears and sorrow,

You and me together, we’ll make our getaway

So, Sarah, take this lullaby, it’s yours to keep

Hold it to your heart, let it sing you to sleep,

Sarah Jane, oh, sweet darlin’, Sarah Jane, Sarah Jane
