[Intro]
EmCome on Irishmen bGoth young and old
DWith adventure in your A7soul
EmThere are better ways tGo spend your days
DThen by working down a A7hole
[Chorus]
GI was tall and true Dall of 6 foot 2
EmTil they broke me acroDss my back
EmBy a name I'm known tGhat is not my own
DFor they call mA7e crooEmked Jack
[Verse]
EmAnd I curse the day GI went away
DTo work on those hydro dA7ams
EmAll our sweat and tears oGur hopes and fears
DBound up with shuttering A7jams
[Chorus]
GI was tall and true Dall of 6 foot 2
EmTil they broke me acroDss my back
EmBy a name I'm known tGhat is not my own
DFor they call mA7e crooEmked Jack
[Verse]
EmFor I've seen men old befGore their time
DTheir faces worn and gA7ray
EmBut I never thought thGat I myself
DWould soon be the self sameA7 way
[Chorus]
GI was tall and true Dall of 6 foot 2
EmTil they broke me acroDss my back
EmBy a name I'm known tGhat is not my own
DFor they call mA7e crooEmked Jack
[Verse]
EmAnd they say that honest toGil is good
DFor the body and the sA7oul
EmBut I'll tell you boys it's fGor sweat and blood
DThat they want you down the hA7ole
[Chorus]
GI was tall and true Dall of 6 foot 2
EmTil they broke me acroDss my back
EmBy a name I'm known tGhat is not my own
DFor they call mA7e crooEmked Jack
