Little Jack
I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
No one ever took the time or was inclined to help
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though, my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Get it!
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though, my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say, oh
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Little Jack, you best stay back
Little Jack, you best stay back
No one ever took the time or was inclined to help
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though, my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Get it!
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though, my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Susie, keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say, oh
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
Little Jack, you best stay back
Little Jack, you best stay back
