Uncle Jack Songtext
von Big Big Train

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

The tilt of the earth
Makes the sun high
In the bright summer sky
Intensity of light
The earth turns around the sun
Spinning around the sun

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Yes he does
Uncle Jackdaw
You see he's heard it all before
Ancient and reborn


The flowers and the leaves
The birds and the seeds
The flowers draw the bees
And just after three
Evergreen and a mug of tea
Dog and master sound asleep

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

Don't you know
The hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel
Hedgerow

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone
Dog rose, honeysuckle
Blackbirds, red wing

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings ladybirds
Fox Earths, rabbit warrens
Badger's sets, partridge nests

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone
Dog rose, honeysuckle
Blackbirds, red wing

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds


Uncle Jack knows
The song of the hedgerows
