Jack of the Lantern Lyrics

Stingy jack

Wears a sack

Tempted the devil

Now he can't come back

Yah

Halloween night and the moon shine bright

Eyesight has decreased to achieve peak fright

Low light, venture in the darkness

No bite, any creatures are harmless

Get a knife then I sharpen it twice

Before long the tip slip through quite nice, yeahh

Large hack throwing guts by the cemetary

But I just carve jack's lanterns, I'm his emissary

He can't go

To heaven or heck

Carries a turnip

With coal wick breath, yeahh

Breathe deep in this cool autumn air

Hallow is upon us, the holiday unaware

Careful if you need to go, after midnight though

Cause the ghosts roam free untill dawn approach, so

Catch 'em wandering, dim lit glow

Way off in the distance, it show then grow

Coming closer and closer, he after ya soul

And on all hallows eve, he be taking control

Wandering ghost

Preys on those

Who never leave a light

On the hallowed night, now

Take a turnip and turn it into a pumpkin

Ember burns hot from the depths of the dungeon

Cursed to walk over the Earth

Quiet tones mix with the sound of dirt

Got a coal from the underworld, help make way

Through the cold weather wandering in pain and dismay

Near a pumpkin patch, 'neath the twisted trees

Inna burlap sac, from his head to his knees

He will trick

A treat for him

If there's no flame

For the lantern's grin

What else can be told of this times old tale

Out on Halloween night, full of fright, never fails

Keep a lookout, upon the horizon

Be sure to carve a jack o' lantern, put it outside then

He turn away, walk off to the next

When eternity is endless, no counting ya steps

Just around and around, every hallows eve night

Jack of the lantern, keep him out of your sight, yeahh

Stingy jack

In the burlap sac

Tempted the devil

Now he can't go back
