I was young in Charlottesville That was a long long time Now I'm homesick and I'm poor Poor is at least no crime As long as I am a dollar down Tomorrow might get better If I could erase each place I've gone I could stop singing forever Oh my Sarah Jane Long years since I've met you Oh my Sarah Jane How many 'til I can forget you I went to bed in Galveston Dreamed about Tennessee Woke up thinking the man I was Is not who I was born to be Filled my pockets with shells from the bay Kids far away need minding I'll be home by saturday And put my dreaming behind me Oh my Sarah Jane Long years since I've met you Oh sweet Sarah Jane How many 'til I can forget you
