Lyrics

Limber Jack, he landed on his back Was bedding on the netting when the rigging went slack Was a moonless night, the stars all lending light She's leering in the mirror when the rodent rode right 'Cause you never really know When the whistle's gonna blow You never really know Easy come and easy go He was a stand-up gent, but no one knew his bent And all the little bones that he hid in his vent She was the come-on queen, to along the scene He found her in the shower, she'd been gone for seven weeks 'Cause you never really know When the whistle's gonna blow You never really know Easy come and easy go 'Cause you never really know When the whistle's gonna blow You never really know Easy come and easy go Limber Jack, his name is on the plaque His mother is another that will never get him back
