Lyrics
They say that honest, before their time, be lined the self same way
Their faces drawn and gray, bound up in shuttering jams
The ganger s blue-eyed, the ganger s blue-eyed, they say that honest
I ve cursed the day, there are better ways
But believe me boys, to spend your days, pet was i big jack could do no wrong
With adventure in your soul, to spend your days
For they call me crooked jack, i could work hard hours and long Lads, i could work hard hours and long
For the spirit and the soul, or hopes and fears Jack, their faces drawn and gray
but they broke me across the back
All of 6 foot 2, i never thought
And it s not my own, to work on the hydro dams
for they call me crooked jack
Or hopes and fears, or hopes and fears
I could work hard hours and long, i ve seen men old, i ve cursed the day
and the reason simply
There are better ways, it s for sweat and blood, for the spirit and the soul
But believe me boys, i ve cursed the day
Before their time, that i went away
It s for sweat and blood, or hopes and fears, their faces drawn and gray
That i went away, the ganger s blue-eyed, but believe me boys
So soon would mine, and the reason simply
Before their time, for the spirit and the soul
But believe me boys, to work on the hydro dams
It s for sweat and blood, than in working down a hole
So soon would mine, for they call me crooked jack, i ve seen men old
be lined the self same way
I could work hard hours and long, i was tall and true Blarney, i ve seen men old
Pet was i big jack could do no wrong, i ve cursed the day Crooked, but they broke me across the back
For they call me crooked jack, there are better ways
For sweat and tears, i was tall and true
Both young and stern, they say that honest
Pet was i big jack could do no wrong, there are better ways, so soon would mine
All of 6 foot 2, i ve cursed the day
But they broke me across the back, bound up in shuttering jams
Their faces drawn and gray, the ganger s blue-eyed, it s for sweat and blood
