Crooked Jack

Crooked Jack - An Cat Dubh[00:00:00]

Written by:Traditional[00:00:02]

Come irishmen[00:00:14]

Both young and stern[00:00:15]

With adventure in your soul[00:00:17]

There are better ways[00:00:20]

To spend your days[00:00:22]

Than in working down a hole[00:00:23]

I was tall and true[00:00:26]

All of 6 foot 2[00:00:28]

But they broke me across the back[00:00:29]

By a name I'm known[00:00:32]

And it's not my own[00:00:34]

For they call me crooked Jack[00:00:36]

The ganger's blue eyed[00:00:47]

Pet was I[00:00:49]

Big Jack could do no wrong[00:00:50]

And the reason simply[00:00:53]

Was because[00:00:55]

I could work hard hours and long[00:00:56]

I've seen men old[00:00:59]

Before their time[00:01:00]

Their faces drawn and gray[00:01:02]

But I never thought[00:01:05]

So soon would mine[00:01:07]

Be lined the self same way[00:01:08]

I was tall and true[00:01:11]

All of 6 foot 2[00:01:13]

But they broke me across the back[00:01:14]

By a name I'm known[00:01:17]

And it's not my own[00:01:19]

For they call me crooked Jack[00:01:21]

I've cursed the day[00:01:35]

That I went away[00:01:36]

To work on the hydro dams[00:01:38]

I was sweat and tears[00:01:41]

Or hopes and fears[00:01:42]

Bound up in shuttering Jams[00:01:44]

They say that honest[00:01:47]

Toil is good[00:01:49]

For the spirit and the soul[00:01:50]

But believe me boys[00:01:53]

It's for sweat and blood[00:01:55]

That they want you down a hole[00:01:56]

I was tall and true[00:01:59]

All of 6 foot 2[00:02:01]

But they broke me across the back[00:02:03]

By a name I'm known[00:02:05]

And it's not my own[00:02:07]

For they call me crooked Jack[00:02:09]

I was tall and true[00:02:11]

All of 6 foot 2[00:02:13]

But they broke me across the back[00:02:15]

By a name I'm known[00:02:18]

And it's not my own[00:02:19]

For they call me crooked Jack[00:02:21]
