Tune: “Twinkle, Little Star”
1st verse:
Welcome, welcome Hallowe’en,
Welcome ghosts and witches mean;
Queer sounds wailing on the air,
Jack o’ Lanterns ev’rywhere;
Tricks and charms for every one,
Hallowe’en is lots of fun.
2nd verse:
Through the shadows black bats fly,
In the forest hoot owls cry;
Lean ghosts in their robes of white
Scamper slyly through the night;
With hobgoblins everywhere
Little folks had best beware.
“A Halloween song my mum learned in 1931 in the first grade”
1st verse: Where do yellow pumpkins go, when the moon is hanging low, with a creep, and a peep, soon the world is fast asleep… Comes a Jack O`Lantern creeping in the cold October air!
2nd verse: In the empty garden bed, he is looking for his head, eyes and nose,round as O`s, and a mouth that will not close… Comes a Jack O`Lantern filling all Halloween hearts with dread!
Thank you for sharing the song Paul 🙂
