Crooked Jack
come irish men both young and stern
with adventure in you'r soul
there are better ways to spend you'r days
then working down a hole
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but his own thay
call him crooked jack
i curse the day he went away
to work on that hydro down
for sweat'n tears and hopes'n fears
bound up in shuttering jems
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
thay call crooked jack
and the geggers blue eyed boy was he
big jack could do no wrong
but the reason simply was beacause
he could work hard hours and long
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but it's not his own
thay call him crooked jack
thay say that all his toyel is good
for the spirit and the soul
but believe me child it's
for swaet and blood that thay
watch ya down a hole
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known
but it's not his own thay call him croocked jack
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but it's not not his own
thay call him crooked jack
end
with adventure in you'r soul
there are better ways to spend you'r days
then working down a hole
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but his own thay
call him crooked jack
i curse the day he went away
to work on that hydro down
for sweat'n tears and hopes'n fears
bound up in shuttering jems
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
thay call crooked jack
and the geggers blue eyed boy was he
big jack could do no wrong
but the reason simply was beacause
he could work hard hours and long
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but it's not his own
thay call him crooked jack
thay say that all his toyel is good
for the spirit and the soul
but believe me child it's
for swaet and blood that thay
watch ya down a hole
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known
but it's not his own thay call him croocked jack
he was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
but thay broke him across the back
by a name he's known but it's not not his own
thay call him crooked jack
end
