We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry,
And kiss the girls so they'll not cry,
And toss the dice until we fly,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows. />
We'll dance all night until the moon runs free, />
And dandle the lasses upon our knee,
And then you'll ride along with me,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
We'll sing all night, and drink all day, />
And on the girls we'll spend our pay,
And when it's gone, then we'll away,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
There's some delight in ale and wine, />
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows
