Testi

Down my old local there's always a man

With a squint in his eye and a working man's tan

Just listen a while and you'll be entertained

But don't interrupt, you may ne'er walk again

Cause his hands may be cracked and his eyes may be pale

He may not look long for this world

When that world's on your back

Just sit down with Old Jack

And he'll tell you tall tales of old

He'll say away with you boy

Don't go wasting your time

Should be living your live for yourself

'Cause the very next day

They could take you away

And you won't have no stories to tell

But seeing as you're here

Won't you buy us a beer

And I'll tell you a favorite of mine

Go out and live your life

Another time

He'll regale you with tales through the smoke of his pipe

Then he'll show you some proof of his well-traveled life

The unicorn's horn or the gold he brought back

Just keep your mouth shut if you're doubting Old Jack

Cause his hands may be cracked and his eyes may be pale

He may not look long for this world

When that world's on your back

Just sit down with Old Jack

And he'll tell you tall tales of old

He'll say away with you boy

Don't go wasting your time

Should be living your live for yourself

'Cause the very next day

They could take you away

And you won't have no stories to tell

But seeing as you're here

Won't you buy us a beer

And I'll tell you a favorite of mine

Go out and live your life

Another time

I went to my local just the other day

They told me Old Jack had been taken away

The hospital bed found him cold like the night

And snatched him away while he clung to his pipe

And his skin was so pale, and his eyes wired shut

His story had come to an end

As I walked out the ward

I was shattered and torn

I remembered the last words he said

He said away with you boy

Don't go wasting your time

Should be living your life for yourself

'Cause the very next day

They could take you away

And you won't have no stories to tell

But seeing as you're here

Won't you buy us a beer

And I'll tell you a favorite of mine

Go out and live your life

Another time

He said away with you boy

Don't go wasting your time

Should be living your life for yourself

'Cause the very next day

They could take you away

And you won't have no stories to tell

But seeing as you're here

Won't you buy us a beer

And I'll tell you a favorite of mine

Go out and live your life

Another time
