crooked jack - unspoken tradition lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1: audie mcginnis]
come irishmen both young and stern
with adventure in your soul
there are better ways to spend your days
than workin’ down a hole

[verse 2: sav sankaran]
i curse the day i went away
to work on those hydro dams
all our sweat and tears, our hopes and fears
bound up with shuttering jams
[chorus: sav sankaran with john doyle]
i was tall and true, all of six*foot*two
’til they broke me across my back
by a name i’m known and it’s not my own
they call me crooked jack

[verse 3: john doyle]
and i’ve seen old men before their time
their faces drawn and gray
but i ain’t never thought so soon would mine
be lined in that self same way

[chorus: john doyle with sav sankaran]
and i was tall and true, all of six*foot*two
but they broke me across the back
and by a name i’m known, it’s not my own
they call me crooked jack

[verse 4: audie mcginnis, sav sankaran & ]
they say that honest toil is good
for the body and the soul

[chorus: audie mcginnis, sav sankaran & john doyle]
i was tall and true, all of six*foot*two
but they broke me across my back
by a name i’m known, it’s not my own
they call me crooked jack
they call me crooked jack
