Jack - A - Lynn Lyrics - 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
