From the recording Appalachian Blues
Lyrics
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
Did you know your broken heart
Would lead to fame, Widow Jane?
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
From the limestone to the liquor
And all the money they made, Widow Jane.
I know your soul is wanderin' around that mine
Wonderin' how you lost so much so early in life
We all know God in heaven ain't got no shame
Cause if he did you wouldn't the name
Widow Jane
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
How did you hold it together
Without goin' insane, Widow Jane?
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
When all your sons died
How is it you overcame, Widow Jane?
I know your soul is wanderin' around that mine
Wonderin' how you lost so much so early in life
We all know God in heaven ain't got no shame
Cause if he did you wouldn't the name
Widow Jane
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
Did you know your broken heart
Would lead to fame, Widow Jane?
Widow Jane, Widow Jane
Guess I'm just another man
Profiting off the name, Widow Jane.
