Crooked Jack Lyrics[Verse 1]
Come Irishmen, both young and stern
With adventure in your soul
There are better ways to spend your days
Than working down a hole
I curse the day that I went away
To work on the hydro dam
Blood, sweat and tears, our hopes and fears
Bound up in shuttering jams

[Chorus]
I was tall and true, all of six-foot-two
They broke me across the back
My name I'm known, it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack
[Verse 2]
I've seen men old before their time
Their faces lined and gray
I never thought so soon would mine
Be lined in itself same way
So come Irishmen, both young and stern
With adventure in your soul
There are better ways to spend your days
Than working down a hole

[Chorus]
I was tall and true, all of six-foot-two
They broke me across the back
My name I'm known, it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack

[Outro]
My name I'm known, it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack
