Have you seen the ' |
|
Jack In The |
|
Green'?With his long tail hanging down |
|
He quietly sits under every tree |
|
In the folds of his velvet gown |
|
He drinks from the empty acorn cup |
|
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows |
|
And taps his cane upon the ground |
|
Signals the snowdrops it's time to grow |
|
It's no fun being ' |
|
Jack In The |
|
Green'No place to dance, no time for song |
|
He wears the colors of the summer soldier |
|
Carries the green flag all the winter long |
|
Jack, do you never sleep? |
|
Does the green still run deep in your heart? |
|
Or will these changing times |
|
Motorways, powerlines, keep us apart? |
|
Well, I don't think so |
|
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today |
|
The rowan, the oak and the holly tree |
|
Are the charges left for you to groom |
|
Each blade of grass whispers ' |
|
Jack In The |
|
Green'Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night |
|
And we are the berries on the holly tree |
|
And the mistlethrush is coming |
|
Jack, put out the light |
