Jack they say, one autumn day did fool the devil well; And then and there, did make him swear, to keep him out of hell. But when he died, he was denied his entrance into glory; And so he roams our streets at night and therein lies the story. To see at night, he has a light that comes from hells own flame- Which burns so well in a pumpkin shell and jack-o-lantern is its name.

The Origin of the Jack-O-Lantern
Jack they say, one autumn day did fool the devil well; And then and there, did make him swear, to keep him out of hell. But when he died, he was denied his entrance into glory; And so he roams our streets at night and therein lies the story. To see at night, he has a light that comes from hells own flame- Which burns so well in a pumpkin shell and jack-o-lantern is its name.
