Jack-in-the-Green (Live) [2004 Remaster] (Live; 2004 Remaster)

Jack-in-the-Green (Live|2004 Remaster) - Jethro 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
