[Verse 1]
Oh, young Janie fair by feature
She would never a bargain miss
She asked Damon, greedy creature
Thirty sheep for just one kiss

[Chorus]
Oh Janie, sweet Janie
Please be patient and don't be keen
And when you find him you'll remind him
He's the king, you are the queen

[Verse 2]
Oh, the next day on the morrow
Heart full bursting and kept from sleep
She gives Damon to her sorrow
Thirty kisses for just one sheep

[Chorus]
Oh Janie, sweet Janie
Please be patient and don't be keen
And when you find him you'll remind him
He's the king, you are the queen

[Verse 3]
Oh, the next day grown more tender
Oh, young Janie it's come to this
Thirty sheep she will surrender
For just one single loving kiss
[Chorus]
Oh Janie, sweet Janie
Please be patient and don't be keen
And when you find him you'll remind him
He's the king, you are the queen

[Banjo Solo]

[Verse 4]
Oh, another day is over
Sheep and dog he just might get
But young Damon no more the rover
For her kisses remains in debt

[Chorus]
Oh Janie, sweet Janie
Please be patient and don't be keen
And when you find him you'll remind him
He's the king, you are the queen
Oh Janie, sweet Janie
Please be patient and don't be keen
And when you find him you'll remind him
He's the king, you are the queen
