Charlie Parr – One Eyed Jack lyrics

Well uncle Jack was a gambler
Every night he lost all he had
Every night he lost all he had
Talkin bout 3am he'd gotten it all back
He talked through the side of his mouth
He chompin on some big cigar, chompin on some big cigar
He used to tell me stories about the war
And if I had to do it over, all over again
You know I'd want to be just like him

Well uncle Jack met a movie star
And I bragged it up all over town
Bragged it up all over town
Well the funny thing is she was never 'round
I saw the TV selling cars, straight on the back
Sellin cars, straight on the back
She said she'd bring a nice Lincoln for uncle Jack
And if I had to do it over, all over again
You know I'd want to be just like him

Well uncle Jack was a natural
Gambling everything all his life
Gambling everything all his life
He was 49 on the day he lost his wife
Well he lost her at a card game
Bluffed and he only had a pair
Bluffed and he only had a pair
Talkin bout 3am, went home and left her there
And if I had to do it over, all over again
You know I'd want to be just like him

Well if I had to do it over, all over again
You know I'd want to be just like him
