Jack be nimble Jack be quick

Jack jumped right over the candle stick

See that flame he jumped had a name called hell

Where the Devil's child drank blood from his old man's well

Jack lived simple with his lady Jill

Till he come on home his heart she stole

He caught her messing with another man

So he got his gun and shot them down

The ghost of Jill lying there all alone

He lost his mind beneath the stairs

All alone

Jack be nimble Jack be quick

Jack jumped right over the candle stick

The ghost of Jill his broken crown

All alone

See the crows stalk the ground

All alone

We were young
