"Uncle Jack" lyrics - BIG BIG TRAIN

[Intro:]
Oh!

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Yes, he does

Uncle Jackdaw (Daw)
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

[Chorus:]
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

[Post-Chorus:]
Ha, ha-ah

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
Don't you know
The hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel
Hedgerow, oh-oh

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds (Don't you know)
Fox earths, rabbit warrens (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Badger's sets, partridge nests (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Rose hips, haw berries
Hedgerow, dry stone (Don't you know)
Dog rose, honeysuckle (The hawthorn, blackthorn)
Blackbirds, red wing (Hazel, hedgerow, oh-oh)

Song thrush, yellowhammer
Lacewings, ladybirds

[Chorus:]
Uncle Jack knows
The song of the hedgerows

[Outro]
