Jack be nimble Jack, Jack be quick Jack jumped right over the candle stick To a flame he chose had a name called hell Where the devils child drank blood and was always 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 Close to Jill lying there All alone He lost his mind beneath the stairs All alone Jack be nimble Jack, Jack be quick Jack jumped right over the candle stick Close to Jill his broken crown All alone See the growth stalk the goat All alone We were young (Repeat until end)
