《Crooked Jack》歌词

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

[00:00:02] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:14] Come irishmen

[00:00:15] Both young and stern

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

[00:00:20] There are better ways

[00:00:22] To spend your days

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:49] Pet was I

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

[00:00:53] And the reason simply

[00:00:55] Was because

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

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

[00:01:00] Before their time

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

[00:01:05] But I never thought

[00:01:07] So soon would mine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] That I went away

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

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

[00:01:42] Or hopes and fears

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

[00:01:47] They say that honest

[00:01:49] Toil is good

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

[00:01:53] But believe me boys

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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