One For Jo - Bert Jansch

It’s one for Jo

Don’t let your man go

He’s a dreamer darling

He’s even kind’a slow

I don’t believe the tales he tells

But they’re always nice to hear

He’s a dreamer darling

Always keep him near

In a white tuxedo

He’s remarkably cool

A prince of living

Who knows all the rules

In a black sedan so royally

He takes his love to school

And no-one can reproach him

No-one but a fool

He’s a bold sea captain

In his boots and oilskin hat

Struggling blindly

Through seas wild and black

Down the river he glides

With his baby by his side

And when you think of that gal

How can your love hide

It’s one for Jo

Don’t let your man go

He’s a dreamer darling

He’s even kind’a slow

I don’t believe the tales he tells

But they’re always nice to hear

He’s a dreamer darling

Always keep him near
