Jack In The Green (Live) (2004 Digital Remaster) - Jetnro Tull
Have you seen Jack In The Green
With his long tail hangin' 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 bein' 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 changin' times
Motorways powerlines
Keep us apart
Well I don't think so
I saw some grass growin' 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
Oh the mistlethrush is coming
Jack put out the light
