My sweet Lady Jane when I see you
again
Your servant am I and will humbly
remain
Just heed this plea my love on bended
knees my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane.
My dear Lady Anne I've done what I
can
I must take my leave for promised I
am
This play is run my love your time
has come my love
I've pledged my troth to Lady Jane.
Oh, my sweet Marie I wait at your
ease
The sands have run out for your lady
and me
Wedlock is nigh my love her station's
right my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane.
«Lady Jane» was penned by the duo Mick Jagger and Keith Richards with arrangement by Brian Jones. One of the versions says, the song takes its source on a novel called "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by English writer David Herbert Lawrence. The vocal melody reveals by elsewhere a Renaissance style modal. He has an Elizabethan atmosphere in this cantilena with his lyrics and without any percussion on the studio version. The special feature of this composition is the use of a dulcimer by Brian Jones but equally the accompaniment on the harpsichord by Jack Nitzsche halfway through the melody. These ones play the instrument in a pure traditional style.
Another version tells that the song might be about Jane Seymour, the third wife of King Henry VIII. She was one of the few wives not executed, but died at childbirth while bearing his only son.
This song was also rumoured
to be about drugs, with "Lady Anne" code for amphetamine and
"Lady Jane" a reference to marijuana (as in "Mary Jane").
It is still fresh after all these years.
