Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains
Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn.
Lush hotels and pretty girls
Won't cheer the misty mood I'm in.
Silly, sad --- I've never had to write this before ---

When phantoms tread around my bed
To offer restless dreams they bring.
And it's just the time and place to find
A sad song to play
For Jack-A-Lynn.

Call me to Jack-A-Lynn.
Coal-black cats in policeman's hats
Nosing where the mice have been.
And the long miaow's beginning now
And I'm far, far from home ---
And Jack-A-Lynn.
