17 Oct 02 - 08:36 AM (#805257) Subject: Lyr Req: Mondagreen: Staines' Old Jack From: GUEST,Vixen @ Work D'Cats-- I've been listening to Bill Staines "Old Jack" for about a month, over and over, and, so-help-me, it sounds to my (rather faulty) ears like he's singing "with two runners and a *beddin' bow* when he's describing the sleigh that old Jack's pullin' thru the snow. Anyone ideas what the words are???? Thanks for the help! V |

They used to work mighty hard on the old back forty,
CHORUS: He sang, "Ol' jack, can you hear the wind blow?
Ol' Jack had been around for as long as I remember CHORUS
When the snows fell down in the middle of the winter, CHORUS
And so I stand in the fields of this little old farm I sing... CHORUS Enjoy... musicman.... |
