Verse 1 Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains
Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn
Lush hotels and pretty girls
Won't share the misty mood I'm in
Chorus Silly, sad, I've never had
To write this before
Oh, Jack-A-Lynn
Verse 2 Funny how long nights alone
And thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn
When phantoms tread around my bed
To offer restless dreams they bring
Chorus And it's just the time and place to find
- { A } sad song to play
For Jack-A-Lynn
Verse 3- Magpies that shriek, { old } boots that leak
- { Call me the Jack-A-Lynn }
- Cold { black cats in policman's hats }
- { Nosing where the mice have been }
- And the lonely hours, { forgiving now }
- { And } I'm far, far from home
- { A } Jack-A-Lynn
Jack Jack-A-Lynn
Jack Jack-A-Lynn, Jack Jack-A-Lynn
Jack Jack-A-Lynn, Jack Jack-A-Lynn
