CROOKED JACK (Dominic Behan) Come Irishmen both young and stern With adventure in your soul There are better ways to spend your days Than in working down a hole I was tall and true, all of 6 foot 2 But they broke me across the back By a name I'm known and it's not my own They call me Crooked Jack The ganger's blue-eyed boy was I Big Jack could do no wrong And the reason simply was because I could work hard hours and long I've seen men old before their time Their faces drawn and gray I never thought so soon would mine Be lined the self same way I've cursed the day that I went away To work on the hydro dams For sweat and tears or hopes and fears Bound up in shuttering jams They say that honest toil is good For the spirit and the soul But believe me boys it's for sweat and blood That they want you down a hole @work recorded by Dick Gaughin filename[ CROOKJAC TUNE FILE: CROOKJACK CLICK TO PLAY TUNE FILE: STARDOWN CLICK TO PLAY SOF |
