As recorded by Emmylou Harris
(From the 2023 Album MORE THAN A WHISPER: CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF NANCI GRIFFITH)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
She owned a hotel on the Jersey shore
B E
She made her living sending sailors door to door
E A E
He was the small one with a crooked smile
Oh, he made her eyes light up like the heavens on the fourth of July
[Verse 2]
E A E
She ran the numbers they say she ran 'em clean
Those porcelain hands could keep a ledger even in her sleep
E A E
While he worked the Seabees in the Philippines
They say she made more money than you or I will ever see
[Chorus]
E A E
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
[Fiddle & Accordion Solo]
E A E B E
A E B E
[Verse 3]
E A E
It was in the winter when he came back home
He had to hold those porcelain hands just to keep her warm
So, they had a daughter they named her Stephanie Anne
Hey, they sent her off to Vassar to find herself a family man
[Verse 4]
E A E
Now, she sold the hotel it belongs to me
I watch those sailors come and go like the waves in the seas
I've hung their portraits up in the honeyoon suite
I hear they're fishin' their lives away in the Florida Keys
[Chorus]
E A E
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
Love was an anchor on the Jersey shore
If you were looking for love, boys, you could've found it in forty-four
Cause love wore a halo back before the war
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
[Outro]
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
When the men loved the women and the women knew what men were for
