LADY JANE
(Jagger/Richards)
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 duo Mick Jagger and Keith Richards with arrangement by Brian Jones. The song was initially included on the album "Aftermath" which was released on 12 April 1966 in the UK and 20 June 1966 in the US. The song takes its source on a novel called "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by English writer David Herbert Lawrence. "Lady Jane" presents also the influences of author Geoffry Chaucer considered the father of English poetry particularly in the vocal delivery and diction of Mick Jagger. 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 song is valorized by Brian Jones' instrumental incorporation of baroque rock, this multi-instrumentalist musician seeking to improve the musical textures of the Rolling Stones. 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. Brian Jones is the secret enunciation here, bringing an exotic touch to "Lady Jane", he is the standard for the playfulness of everything that led to the radiant psychedelia of that era. The Rolling Stones went beyond their blues roots to become pop genius artisans who ran neck and neck with the Beatles. After the death of Brian Jones in 1969, the song was not performed in concert before 2012. This song is one of the most beautiful in sixties pop.
