Testo Crooked Jack - An Cat Dubh
Testo della canzone Crooked Jack (An Cat Dubh), tratta dall'album An Cat Dubh Light
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 six foot two
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 gang's blue-eyed boy Big Jack
He could do no wrong
And the reason simply was because
He could work hard hours and long
I've seen men old before their time
Their faces drawn and grey
But I never thought so soon would mine
Be lying the self same way
I was tall and true all of six foot two
But they broke me across the back
By a name I'm known and it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack
Oh I curse the day that I went away
To work on the hydro dams
Our sweat and tears, our hopes and fears
Found up in chattering 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 the hole
I was tall and true all of six foot two
But they broke me across the back
By a name I'm known and it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack
I was tall and true all of six foot two
But they broke me across the back
By a name I'm known and it's not my own
They call me Crooked Jack
