Lyrics
Jack Daw came from the mountain And he brought his jug of wine He sat and talked among us We lost track of the time That bottle held the future And the spirits of the past We drank it to the dregs But we could not drink the last
CHORUS: Jack Daw hang your head and go home Gonna wake up the morning, Another dawn (he’ll be gone) Jack Daw went to a river Where he threw his body in And his pale features floated up Like a heart lifted of sin We drew him from the water Laid his burden in the ground Jack Daw is here each time We need to turn the world around CHORUS
Jack Daw went to the maypole With ribbons for the Spring And maidens wrapped around him As befits the Summer’s king He leapt into their bonfire And his body filled with light And he lit up in his glory And he blessed us in the night. CHORUS
Jack Daw he was a king When the ancients walked the land They say he’s just a myth But he was more than a man At the darkest hour of winter With the world about to end He sacrificed himself so the sun could rise again CHORUS
