The ToneWay® Project: helping people play music


Saro Jane

I've got a wife and five little children
Believe I'll make a trip on the big Macmillan

Refrain:Oh Saro 6m Jane
4 Nothing' to do but 1 sit around and (6m) sing
1 Rock about my 5 Saro 1 Jane

Chorus
Oh, rock about my Saro Jane
4 Rock about my Saro 1 Jane
4 Nothing' to do but 1 sit around and 6 sing
1 Rock about my 5 Saro 1 Jane

Boiler busted and the whistle done blowed
The head captain done fell overboard...

Engine gave a crack and the whistle gave a squall
The engineer gone to the hole in the wall...

Yankees built boats for to shoot them rebels
My musket's loaded and I'm gonna hold her level...
