I've been workin' on the rail road all the live long day
I've got just one question for you and I don't want no messing around
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack looked through the crack
What did he see beyond the veil?
A golden chair, a broken horn, a gilded sword, blood on the floor
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack his final act was sinking through the kitchen floor
He was not cup, he was not straw, he was not chair, he was the door
What do you mean he was the door?
Well, One Eyed Jack he kept the time, he counted to the number 9
He took the cup, he drank the brine, he was the door to the other side
What do you mean the other side?
And how did he hurt his back again?
Brick-a by brick-a by brick-a by brick-a
He made-a a stack-a but broke-a his back-a
That's all I know about One Eyed Jack-a
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack in Galilea, looked through the crack, what did he see?
A sheep all shorn, blood on the floor, he died but then he was reborn
What do you mean he was reborn?
Well, One Eyed Jack he spoke in rhyme, he told us of the turning tide, the light that shown from his blind
Eye, it lit the way to the other side
What do you mean the other side?
You know the other side
Brick-a by brick-a by brick-a by brick-a he made-a a stack-a but broke-a his back-a
That's all I know about One Eyed Jack-a
One Eyed Jack always breathes down my neck
One Eyed Jack
