Stingy old jack was a clever old chap
who invited the devil out one day.
They were sat in a bar, having a jar,
but then it came time for jack to pay.
Now stingy old jack the crafty old chap
convinced the devil to turn into cash.
As quick as a flash a sixpence arrived,
stingy old jack pocketed it with a smile.
He went home put the sixpence by a cross
preventing the devil of changing back.
Until the day stingy old jack made a pact,
the devil could never have jacks soul back.
Next Halloween old stingy jack died,
he was turned away from the gates of heaven.
And at the gates of hell he then arrived,
but the devil told him to walk on by.
Stingy old jack in the darkness alone
started crying and gave out a moan.
The devil tossed jack a glowing hot coal,
to put in a turnip and find a new home.
Ever since that day, those Jack O'Lanterns
have always been glowing red this way.
For stingy old jack's lonely lost soul
will always be roaming with red hot coals...
