Crooked Jack
Oh Come on Irish Men both young and stern With adventure in your soul There are better ways to spend your days Than working down a hole
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own
For they call me crooked Jack
Oh the Gangers blue eyed pet was I and Jack could do no wrong
and the reason was simply because
I could work hard hours and long
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own
For they call me crooked Jack I've seen men old before their time Their faces drawn and gray it was then though then Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I thought that mine would be drawn the self same way I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own For they call me crooked Jack I curse the day I went away To work in those hellish holes Fer all the sweat and tears my blood and my fears Bound up in the Band with Coal I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own For they call me crooked Jack they say that honest toil is good For the body and the soul oh but believe me boys it's for your sweat and blood That they want you down that hole I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own For they call me crooked Jack I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2 Til they broke me across my back By a name I'm known it's not my own For they call me crooked Jack
