Jethro Tull – Jack-a-Lynn Lyrics 16 years ago
I interpret the song to be about his cat and not a woman as we assume until the end. Coal black cats in policemen's hats nosing where the mice have been. That's his cat, Jack-a-Lynn, who is snooping around the house looking for mice. That is also why he imagines the long meow while he's far from home. What a great song musically and lyrically.
