Versified by Mrs Clara Doty Bates	A
	-
	-
A lazy and careless boy was Jack	B
He would not work and he would not play	C
And so poor that the jacket on his back	B
Hung in a ragged fringe alway	D
But 'twas shilly shally dilly dally	E
From day to day	C
	-
At last his mother was almost wild	F
And to get them food she knew not how	G
And she told her good for nothing child	F
To drive to market the brindle cow	G
So he strolled along with whistle and song	H
And drove the cow	G
	-
A man was under the wayside trees	I
Who carried some beans in his hand all white	J
He said My boy I'll give you these	I
For the brindle cow Jack said All right	J
And without any gold for the cow he had sold	K
Went home at night	J
	-
Bitter tears did the mother weep	L
Out of the window the beans were thrown	M
And Jack went supperless to sleep	L
But when the morning sunlight shone	M
High and high to the very sky	N
The beans had grown	M
	-
They made a ladder all green and bright	J
They twined and crossed and twisted so	O
And Jack sprang up it with all his might	J
And called to his mother down below	O
Hitchity hatchet my little red jacket	P
And up I go	O
	-
High as a tree then high as a steeple	Q
Then high as a kite and high as the moon	R
Far out of sight of cities and people	Q
He toiled and tugged and climbed till noon	R
And began to pant I guess I shan't	E
Get down very soon	R
	-
At last he came to a path that led	S
To a house he had never seen before	T
And he begged of a woman there some bread	S
But she heard her husband the Giant roar	T
And she gave him a shove in the old brick oven	U
And shut the door	T
	-
And the Giant sniffed and beat his breast	V
And grumbled low Fe fi fo fum	W
His poor wife prayed he would sit and rest	V
I smell fresh meat I will have some	W
He cried the louder Fe fi fo fum	W
I will have some	W
	-
He ate as much as would feed ten men	X
And drank a barrel of beer to the dregs	Y
Then he called for his little favorite hen	X
As under the table he stretched his legs	Y
And he roared Ho ho like a buffalo	O
Lay your gold eggs	Y
	-
She laid a beautiful egg of gold	K
And at last the Giant began to snore	T
Jack waited a minute then growing bold	K
He crept from the oven along the floor	T
And caught the hen in his arms and then	X
Fled through the door	T
	-
But the Giant heard him leave the house	Z
And followed him out and bellowed Oh oh	O
But Jack was as nimble as a mouse	Z
And sang as he rapidly slipped below	O
Hitchity hatchet my little red jacket	P
And down I go	O
	-
And the Giant howled and gnashed his teeth	A2
Jack got down first and in a flash	B2
Cut the ladder from underneath	A2
And Giant and Bean stalk in one dash	B2
No shilly shally no dilly dally	E
Fell with a crash	B2
	-
This brought Jack fame and riches too	C2
For the little gold egg hen would lay	C
An egg whenever he told her to	C2
If he asked one fifty times a day	C
And he and his mother lived with each other	D2
In peace alway	D
