I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
|
|
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help
|
|
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
|
|
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
|
|
Hey hey
|
|
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
|
|
Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child
|
|
Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
|
|
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Though my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say
|
|
Hey hey... get in!
|
|
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
|
|
Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child
|
|
Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
|
|
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
|
|
Hey hey... oh!
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say
|
|
Oh... Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
|
|
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say
|
