Текст (слова) песни: Jethro Tull - Jack in the green
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 snow drops, 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 colours of the summer soldier; And 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 graЯ growing through the pavements today.
The Rowan, the Oak and the Holly tree Are the charges left for him to groom.
Each blade of graЯ 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 Mistle Thrush is coming. Jack, put out the light!"
