lyrics

Swingin’ Jack

Given a medal for killing two men
A dishonourable discharge for loving one
And so, they called me Swingin’ Jack
As I swung from the Tyburn Tree
Dragged down, my soul set free
Forgotten and never to come back

Well the gallows saw me savaged
Those long and darkened days
In honest disbelief we misbehaved
No we never gave a damn
‘Cause tomorrow we’d all be dead
So be sure and fill your life with merriment

Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back

Yeah they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
Oh they call me Swingin’ Jack
My soul, never to come back
My soul, never to come back
My soul, never to come back
