Move over <i>!</i> Mary Jane,
Move Over <i>! </i> G.I. Jane,
Move Over <i>!</i> Calamity Jane
Where is Jessica Jane <i>! </i>?
Jessica Jane <i>!</i>
Strong-arm lady of an outlaw clan.
She twirled an old Colt forty-five;
They never took Jessica Jane alive
Jessica was the queen of the West
Held a diamond heart in her left breast
She’d a fire in her heart no hurt could stifle;
Lion eyes and a Winchester rifle.
Jessica rode through a sleeping town;
Looked the moonlit street both up and down;
Crack-crack-crack, the street ran flames
And a great voice cried, “I’m Jessica Jane <i>!</i>
Jessica Jane rode hell for leather;
She was a horse and a woman together;
In a cave in a mountain high up in air
She lived with a rattlesnake, a wolf, and a bear.
Jessica’s heart was too hard for a woman;
For guts and strength she was super-human;
She could put six shots through a woodpecker’s eye
And take in one swallow a gallon of rye.
They sought her here and they sought her there,
But she strides by night through the ways of the air;
They say she was took and they say she is dead
But she ain’t – she’s a sunset overhead.
Yes, Jessica Jane was a two-gun lady
The same as when this poem began;
And when you see a sunset burst into flame
Or a thunderstorm blaze
— that’s– Jessica Jane!
