+Now winter is over, I'm happy to say,
+That we'll all meet again on the first day of May.
+And we'll all meet again on the first day of Spring,
+And go about dancing with Jack in the Green.
+//Jack in the Green, Jack in the Green,
+We'll all dance in Springtime with Jack in the Green.//
+Now Jack in the Green is a very strange man;
+Though he dies every Autumn, he's born every Spring.
+And each year, on his birthday, we will dance in the street
+And in return Jack, he will ripen our wheat.
+//Ripen our wheat, ripen our wheat,
+In return Jack, he will ripen our wheat.//
+With garlands he'll cover the trees that are bare
+And our gardens he'll trim with his jacket so rare;
+And the fields he will sow with the hair of his head
+And our grain it will ripen till old jack is dead.
+//Old jack is dead, old Jack is dead,
+And our grain it will ripen till old jack is dead.//
+Now the sun is half up and betokens the hour
+And the children arrive with their garlands of flowers.
+So come, let the music and dancing begin
+And touch the good heart of young Jack in the Green.
+//Jack in the Green, Jack in the Green,
+And touch the good heart of young Jack in the Green.//
