Composed by Martin Graebe. Arranged by Daygan Robinson. A brilliant Beltane song (May Day) of Pagan delights personified by the Green Man.Even though this has the feeling and lyrics of an ancient pagan rites song and many think it a traditional number, Martin Graebe is actually alive and kicking today near Taunton! (2018)
lyrics
1. Now winter is over I'm happy to say
That we'll all meet again on the first day of May
And we'll all meet again on the first day of Spring
And go about dancing with Jack in the Green
Chorus
Jack in the Green, Jack in the Green
And we'll dance every Springtime with Jack in the Green.
2. Now all you young maidens I'll have you beware
Of touching young jack and his strange powers there
Happen they that do touch him so many will tell
Like the wheat in the fields so your bellies will swell

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
