My Cup ‘O Jane



When I’m waiting for the streetcar

And all of a sudden it begins to rain...

I start praying for some sunshine

And my little Cup o’ Jane...


Cup o’ Jane

Cup o’ Jane

Oh, will she be my Cup o’ Jane?


When I’m sitting on the runway

And they won’t let us deplane...

I start hoping for a gate change

And my little Cup o’ Jane...


Cup o’ Jane

Cup o’ Jane

Oh, will she be my Cup o’ Jane?


When I’m working at the gym

And my back starts feelin the pain...

I start wishing for a rub down

And my little Cup o’ Jane...


Cup o’ Jane

Cup o’ Jane

Oh, will she be my Cup o’ Jane?


When I’m jogging up Chestnut Street

And a pothole gives me an ankle sprain...

I start begging for some crutches

And my little Cup o’ Jane...


Cup o’ Jane

Cup o’ Jane

Oh, will she be my Cup o’ Jane?


When we finally start to celebrate 

And suddenly realize there’s no Champagne...

I know that life is so much sweeter

With my little Cup o’ Jane...


Cup o’ Jane

Cup o’ Jane

She’ll always be my Cup o’ Jane!

A New Orleans native, she was born Ruth Grace Moulon on Jan. 19, 1934.  As a child, she and her brother raised ducks in their family’s Royal Street apartment. The ducks would follow young Ruthie everywhere, and her family began promoting her as “the Duck Girl” and charging people to take photos with her, as well as selling picture postcards of her image. Ruthie became a French Quarter fixture from the 1950s through the 1990s and was known for her moodiness, either speaking sweetly to passersby or mightily cursing them. She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
