[00:00.00]Crooked Jack - The Blarney Lads
[00:02.29]Come Irishmen
[00:05.02]Both young and stern
[00:06.25]With adventure in your soul
[00:10.67]There are better ways to spend your days
[00:15.10]Than in working down a hole
[00:19.28]I've cursed the day that I went away
[00:23.55]To work on the hydro dams
[00:27.77]For sweat and tears or hopes and fears
[00:31.93]Bound up in shuttering jams
[00:35.91]I was tall and true all of six foot two
[00:40.30]But they broke me across the back
[00:44.42]By a name I'm known
[00:47.04]It's not my own
[00:49.60]They call me crooked jack
[00:53.68]I've seen men old
[00:56.31]Before their time
[00:57.67]Their faces drawn and gray
[01:01.96]I never thought so soon would mine
[01:06.14]Be lined the self same way
[01:10.00]So come Irishmen
[01:12.96]Both young and stern
[01:14.20]With adventure in your soul
[01:18.44]There are better ways to spend your days
[01:22.83]Than in working down a hole
[01:26.79]I was tall and true all of six foot two
[01:30.93]But they broke me across the back
[01:35.25]By a name I'm known
[01:37.85]It's not my own
[01:40.44]They call me crooked jack
[01:44.52]By a name I'm known
[01:47.14]It's not my own
[01:49.76]They call me crooked jack
