by Anonymous
Jack-O-Lantern Song was published in South Dakota Educator (1917), attributed to "Canadian Teacher." It is sung to the music, "Rig-a-jig"
Upon one wild and windy night-- Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- We, Jacks, our lanters all did light-- The Wind-- it surely knew-- FOR-- Whistle and whistle-- and whist! Now, list! Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist, The wind-- it softly blew. It was the creepiest, scariest night-- Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- We held our breath, then lost it quite, The wind-- it surely knew-- FOR-- Whistle and whistle-- and whist! Now, list! Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist, The wind-- it loudly blew. It rose in all its main and might, Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- It blew out every single light! The wind-- it surely knew--OH-- Whistle and whistle-- and whist! Now, list! Woo-oo, woo-oo, Woo-oo, woo-oo-- Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist, That wind-- it laughed "Ho oh!"
