Jack Be

Jack Be

Jack Be

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick

        Jack        turn        back.

Jack jump, Jack burn, all in turn.
Ashes rest inside the urn.

Candlestick, “Your head is thick.
Wish you hadn’t lit the wick.”

Jump up and
                                        wait
‘til you fall down.

Wish you’d never left the ground.
Jack be simple, Jack be sheep.
Jack will never wake from sleep.
