Jig - Steve Young

There’s a jig in my mind

I hear it all the time|

Dancing to the jig in my mind

It comes from the mountains

Across (through) the mists of time

Man, this little jig is fine

It came into my life

On an old and ancient stream

Part of my ancestors dream

I heard it in the womb

I hear it in this room

I hear it in all of you (I know you can hear it too)

And if you want to get it on with me

You gotta listen to my tune

And if you want me to get it on with you

You gotta play your song too

I’ll listen to you

Even if your jig is blue

Maybe that’ll help it heal

For the jig’s not impressed

With whose doing the best

Its just looking for life’s feel

Undiminished by the years

Enriched by the tears

Its not looking for no short cut deal

Entertainment for the rich

Survival for the poor

Man, if you wanta rock the jig you gotta play it real

And if you want to get it on with me

You gotta listen to my tune

And if you want me to get it on with you

You gotta play your song too

Now I’ll be here in the rain

I’ll be here in the pain

I’ll be here till the dance is done

We’ll dance to our tune

And live (love) through our moons

We’ll have our moment in the sun

And when the jig is up

Won’t you please take a cup

Of kindness for Auld Ange Syne

Just dance around the room

And remember the tune

The jig in our mind

And if you want to get it on with me

You can listen for my tune

And if you want me to get it on with you

You gotta play your song too
