The Velvet Underground "Little Jack" lyrics

Little Jack

I was raised in better days, mostly by myselfNo-one ever took the time or was inclined to helpMother dear, she was never near, she left me to the streetA little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feetLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayThough my life was lily-white, was all I heard them sayHey heyNow I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wildNot inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a childThough my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the blackShould you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking backLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayThough my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them sayHey hey... get in!Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wildNot inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a childThough my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the blackShould you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking backLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayThough my life was lily-white, was all I heard them sayHey hey... oh!Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayThough my life was lily-white, was all I heard them sayLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them sayOh... Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep awayLittle Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say
