Unspoken Tradition – crooked Jack Lyrics

Artist: Unspoken Tradition
Song: crooked Jack

Come Irishmen both young and stern
With adventure in your soul
There are better ways to spend your days
Than workin’ down a hole

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

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

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

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

They say that honest toil is good
For the body and the soul
But believe me boys, it’s for sweat and blood
That they want you down a hole

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
