Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 miaow's beginning now
And I'm far, far from home ---
And jack-a-lynn.

Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
Oh, Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
Jack-Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
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 miaow's beginning now   And I'm far, far from home ---   And jack-a-lynn.      Jack-Jack-a-Lynn   Oh, Jack-Jack-a-Lynn   Jack-Jack-a-Lynn   Jack-Jack-a-Lynn   Jack-Jack-a-Lynn   Jack-Jack-Jack-a-Lynn
