Rhyme Scheme: AABCCCB DDBEFEB GHBIIIB JJBKLLB| Bring me to the blasted oak | A |
| That I midnight upon the stroke | A |
| All find safety in the tomb | B |
| May call down curses on his head | C |
| Because of my dear Jack that's dead | C |
| Coxcomb was the least he said | C |
| The solid man and the coxcomb | B |
| - | |
| Nor was he Bishop when his ban | D |
| Banished Jack the Journeyman | D |
| All find safety in the tomb | B |
| Nor so much as parish priest | E |
| Yet he an old book in his fist | F |
| Cried that we lived like beast and beast | E |
| The solid man and the coxcomb | B |
| - | |
| The Bishop has a skin God knows | G |
| Wrinkled like the foot of a goose | H |
| All find safety in the tomb | B |
| Nor can he hide in holy black | I |
| The heron's hunch upon his back | I |
| But a birch tree stood my Jack | I |
| The solid man and the coxcomb | B |
| - | |
| Jack had my virginity | J |
| And bids me to the oak for he | J |
| all find safety in the tomb | B |
| Wanders out into the night | K |
| And there is shelter under it | L |
| But should that other come I spit | L |
| The solid man and the coxcomb | B |
