Two Jacks Shitty

This journey started slow and free and ended wrapped around a tree
Just like my self pity
Tangled in the willow weeds as high as right up to my knees
While scratching at the fleas
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the queen and I’m two jacks shitty
Made our way the less traveled roads and the filthy ferry boats
And my filthy overcoat
Counted on the fields to be far away from home and close to me
And the castles and sea
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the queen and I’m two jacks shitty
You can bet the city wind is going to sting your eyes
When you forget to use the telephone
And the sleet, the snow, the rain, like cliche long goodbyes
When you got to leave her all alone
I’m not sure how well I am, I know exactly where I stand
With you hand in hand
Place your head on the pillow, please, there’s one of our two hearts diseased
That one belongs to me
She is handsome, she is pretty
She’s the queen and I’m two jacks shitty
