Lyrics

I've been working on the rail road
All the live long day
I just got one question for you that I want answered
I don't want no messing around
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack looked through the crack
What did he see beyond the veil?
A golden chair, a broken horn
A gilded sword, blood on the floor
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack, his final act
Was sinking through the kitchen floor
He was not cup, he was not straw
He was not chair, he was the door
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you
What do you mean he was the door?
Well, One Eyed Jack, he kept the time
He counted to the number nine
He took the cup, he drank the brine
He was the door to the other side
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you mean the other side?
[Instrumental]
And how did he hurt his back again?
Brick-a by brick-a by brick-a by brick-a
He made-a a stack-a but-a broke-a his-a back-a
That's all I know about-a One-a Eyed Jack-a
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you know about One Eyed Jack?
Well, One Eyed Jack, in Galilea
Looked through the crack, what did he see?
A sheep all shorn, blood on the floor
He died, but then he was reborn
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you mean he was reborn?
Well, One Eyed Jack, he spoke in rhyme
He told us of the turning tide
The light that shown from his blind eye
It lit the way to the other side
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you, what do you, what do you, what do you
What do you mean the other side?
[Instrumental]
You know, the other side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side
[Instrumental]
And brick-a by brick-a by brick-a by brick-a
He made-a a stack-a but-a broke-a his-a back-a
That's all I know about-a One-a Eyed Jack-a
One Eyed Jack
Always breathes down my neck
One, two, three, four
[Instrumental]
One Eyed Jack
