John Wesley Harding - Jack In The Green Lyrics

Out of your bed, forget all your sleep
There’s maidens with garlands and chimney sweeps
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
He’s ten foot tall in a floral crown
And everybody has gathered around
for Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
Look how he comes down Rock A Nore Road
Covered in flowers wherever he goes
Jack, Jack, Jack In The Green
Jack, Jack, Jack In The Green
Jack, Jack, Jack In The Green
The strangest king that you’ve ever seen
Jack, Jack, Jack In The Green

Cheer as he passes, he’s King for a day
His cronies are with him, they’re clearing the way
Jack, Jack, Jack In The Green
All of the giants proceeding with joy
The Hon’rable String and The Lilywhite Boys
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
One of his henchmen is looking at you
Look in the mirror, and you’re green too
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green

Some say the dance will be good for the crops
While we consider, let’s drink of the hops
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
Then up to the castle covered in moss
Pull up the drawbridge and drum him across
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
There he sits on high alone
Watching the morris from up on his throne
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green

Get to the front, that’s my advice
For nothing’s complete without his sacrifice
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
They’ll tear him to bits, hand out the leaves
Good Luck to you if you get one of these
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
With a good conscience, we drink our beer
The spirit of summer released for the year
Jack, Jack, Jack in the Green
Chorus
