"Jack-O-Lantern"

 "Jack-O-Lantern" 

(HYMN)

 I saw a Jack O'Lantern 
Nod his clumsy yellow head, 
To all his comrades in the field 
'Til they hid in a wooden shed, 
The sandman came with a candle-
stick 
Then made a tiny light, 
And said a little tallow 
Will make your head feel right. 

And O, such jolly Jack O's 

I never ne'er did see, 

Because the evening all along 

They winked their eyes at me, 

They told the little boys and girls 

If they would be well bred 

To learn each study well in school 

'Twould brighten things ahead.
