Jack-a-Lynn - Jethro Tull

Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains

Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn

Lush hotels and pretty girls

Won’t cheer the misty mood I’m in

Silly, sad, I’ve never had to write this before

Oh, Jack-A-Lynn

Funny how long nights allow

Thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn

When phantoms tread around my bed

To offer restless dreams they bring

And it’s just the time and place to find

A sad song to play

For Jack-A-Lynn

Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak

Call me to Jack-A-Lynn

Coal black cats in policeman’s hats

Nosing where the mice have been

And the long meow’s beginning now

And I’m far, far from home

And Jack-A-Lynn
