Baba Jingo
Baba jingo fly by night, break those bones in two
Suck the marrow, chew the gristle, boil 'em down to glue
Raggle Daggle, King of mustard, pepper corns and salt
Add your spices to the brew beneath the starry vault
Baba Jingo, Raggle Daggle, voices in the wind
Run the circle to the end and roll it back again
Run it round the midnight 'til the bell of morning peals
Seven miles to the step with wings upon your heels
Burn the water, freeze the fire, spin the molten silk
Squeeze the butter from the stone and rubies from the milk
In the land of amber skies where sun shines from the ground
Draw a circle in the sand and pass the cup around
Baba Jingo, Raggle Daggle, voices in the wind . . .
Pass the cup from lip to lip and never spill a drop
Sip the foam and lick the brine from bottom to the top
Ask the lizard on the stone the way to No Man's Land
Right by night and left by day just as the wind commands
Baba Jingo, Raggle Daggle, voices in the wind . . .
Up the mountain, down the pass beside the waterfall
If you're thirsty fill your flask but do not drink it all
Save a healthy swallow for the blue wind of the vale
To take you home by midnight on wings that never fail
Baba Jingo, Raggle Daggle, voices in the wind
Run the circle to the end and roll it back again
Run it round the midnight 'til the bell of morning peals
Seven miles to the step with wings upon your heels
