Jethro Tull - Jack-in-the-green Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Have you seen jack-in-the-green?
  • With his long tail hanging down.
  • He sits quietly 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 its time to grow.
  • Its no fun being jack-in-the-green ---
  • No place to dance, no time for song.
  • He wears the colours 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 dont 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 winters night.
  • And we are the berries on the holly tree.
  • Oh, the mistlethrush is coming.
  • Jack, put out the light.
