Widespread Panic - Jack Lyrics
I couldn't have transcribed this song without the 'Everyday Outtakes' tape)Transcribed by: Brian Whitman Jack was really a jesterWho held his one good eye on the queenAnd there sat the king beside herHe's pointing his sword up and down with every sceneAnd the wizard's in the cornerCatching peanuts between his teethAnd the dogs lying in the shadow in the archwayThere's one good dog sleeping filled with good ol' dog dreamsHe slipped next to the wizardWhispered something deep, to the bottom of his earA little joke, the one about the farmer's daughterHow she was stomping on grapes, coming up with blue feet and beerAnd he slipped behind the queenA little fool's gold, the rich don't mindLately the king's (k)nights have turned a little rustyAnd his halo - I mean his crown - has gone and slipped around his eyesThe wizard's in the cornerPulling lizards between his kneesAnd the dog he been long goneGone to pitch for the winning teamFifty-two, I mean fifty-four bicycles on the wallReady to ride, ready to ride until the last of them fallsJack's been cooking in the kitchenWhompin' (?) up some biscuits for us allFor us allFor us allReady to ride, ready to ride, ride
