Lyrics > Andre Williams & The Sadies – One-Eyed Jack

Had a famous reputaion for singing the blues
He kept a picture of his mama round his neck in a solid-gold locket
And a roll of hundred bills
In his right-hand pocket

One-eyed jack
Bad mother sucker
Born without a sister
And born without a brother

Now he wouldn’t cut ya
But he was known to shoot
Got a pearl handled 22
In the leg of his boot

One-eyed jack
Bad mother sucker

Wanted by the law
And all of New Englands states
Banned by the law
And all the great lakes

Now he wasn’t a black man
And he wasnt white
Born on an Indian reservation
On a cold winter night

One-eyed jack
Bad mother sucker
Born without a sister
And born without a brother

Got a picture of his mama round his neck in a solid-gold locket
And a roll of hundred bills
In his right-hand pocket

One-eyed jack
One-eyed jack
One-eyed jack
One-eyed jack

One-eyed jack
One-eyed jack
