Calamity Jane Lyrics

Once I had me a wife, mighta fell short of love But we had us a life, I was happy enough In a comfortable world, mighta seemed a little tame Then along came a girl called Calamity Jane Three beautiful children, they depended on me Boys five and seven, baby girl only three But she rushed through my blood like a hit of cocaine And I left my family for Calamity Jane CH: Come away, come away, she called to me Come away, come away In the twilight grey, in a reverie Her impossible love seemed to set me free She was gentle as an angel, she was cruel as a queen I was helpless as a baby, I was lost in a dream Of course she vanished as sudden as she came God, pity the damage of Calamity Jane CHORUS I'm bereft and bewildered, I'm a wretched man But here's the strange thing I'll never understand Even after the disaster, the passion and the pain, I can't remember what she looks like, my Calamity Jane CHORUS
