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]
