I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Hey hey

Now I´m grown, I´m on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child
Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don´t bother looking back

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, it´s all I heard them say
Hey hey... get in!

Now I´m grown, I´m on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child
Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don´t bother looking back

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Hey hey... oh!

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
