Jack
Frost is sneakin’ round us,
All ready for the fray;
He
comes out in the evenin’,
But hides behind the day.
He’s
got his pinchers with him,
An’ they are sharp an’ new;
He’s
tryin’ uv his durndest
To git a whack at you.
Jack Frost, Jack Frost,
Do not be so bold;
Jack Frost, Jack Frost
Keep away your cold.
Daddy wants to farm it
Mammy wants to scold;
Jack Frost, Jack Frost,
Keep away your cold
He’s
pryin’ at the winders,
He’s on the kitchen floor;
He’s
in amongst the jellies,
Behind the pantry door.
He’s
waiting with his wipins
Wherever mortal goes;
He’s
bitin’ uv your fingers,
He’s dancin’ on your nose.
Jack Frost, Jack Frost,
Leave us for a while;
Jack Frost, Jack Frost
Keep beyond the stile.
Maidens wanter linger
By the garden patch;
Jack Frost, Jack Frost,
Don’t break up a match.
