Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Ballad of Jack McCoy (Tommy Thompson)
I seem to recall a third verse that you left out:

As Jack was growing up to be a fine mischievious boy
No love was lost between the wife and son of old McCoy.
When Jack would pull his tricks and pranks as youngsters often do,
She'd yell at him and tweak his ears and beat him black and blue.
