Jackie Hall lyrics

Song information

Lyrics

My name is jackie hall, jackie hall, jackie hall
My name is jackie hall, jackie hall
My name is jackie hall, and i've robbed both great and small
They're a gang of muckers all, damn their eyes

And I killed the man they said, so they said. etc
I killed the man they said, for I cracked his bloody head
And they found him lying dead, damn his eyes

And they took me to the quad, etc
They took me to the quad, and they left me there by god
Fastened to a chain and rod, damn their eyes

Their chaplain he did come, etc
Their chaplain he did come, and he looked so bloody glum
As he talked of kingdom come, damn his eyes

And the captain he came too, etc
The captain he came too, with his boys in blue
Saying "jack, we'll see you through," damn his eyes

Up the scaffold I must go
While the creatures down below
Mutter "jack, we told you so," damn their eyes

This will be my knell, etc
When I bid you all farewell
I will see you down in hell, down below
