Janies Blues
what makes Janie feel sad?
She wants to find true love so very bad.
All she wants is a husband, to hold and to love,
but what she gets is quite opposite, a push and a shove.
All of her life since she was a child,
Has never been easy, never meek nor mild.
Nanny was all that Janie had,
No brothers no sisters no mother no dad.
She grew up with friends, the color of white.
But others of that color did not approve of this sight.

Janie oh Janie with her long brown hair,
you will catch her lying quietly under the tree of a pear.
at sixteen quietly thinking of her life,
shes thinking only about being a girl, not being a wife.
She rushed into marriage hoping to seem older
But that burnt quickly into a smolder
Janie ran off directly thereafter,
Hoping to find love, happiness and laughter
What seemed great for an hour or two,
Soon became the reason for Janie being blue.
