ONE FOR JO

Bert Jansch


It's one for Jo
Don't let your mind go.
He's a dreamer darlin'
He's even kind of slow.
I don't believe the tales he tells
But they're always nice to have,
He's a dreamer darlin'
I always gave him that.

In a white tuxedo
He's remarkably cool.
A prince of livin'
Knows all the rules.
and a black sedan so royaly
Takes his love to school,
No one can reproach him
No one but a fool.

He's a bold sea captain
In his books and oilskin hat.
He's struggling blindly
Through seas wild and black.
For down the river he glides
With his maiden by his side,
You think of that girl
How can your love hide?
