Danse with Jack O' the Shadows
(The last verse was not part of the original song, but was added on by some of Mat's freinds.)
We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry,
And kiss the girls so they'll not cry,
And toss the dice until we fly,
To danse with Jack O' the Shadows.
We'll danse all night until the moon runs free,
And dandle the lasses upon our knee,
And then you'll ride along with me,
To danse with Jack O' the Shadows.
We'll sing all night, and drink all day,
And on the girls we'll send our pay,
And when it's gone, then we'll away,
To danse with Jack O' the Shadows.
There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to danse with Jack O' the Shadows.
We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To danse with Jack O' the Shadows.
