Crooked Nose Jack
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose Jack?
The only mark you ever made
Was that cowardly attack,
Did old Wild Bill have
All the things that you lack?
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose Jack?
You were a shadow of a man
Nobody really knew,
You drifted with the wind
And lived without a clue,
Then fate came to Deadwood
On that summer afternoon,
And found you standing there
In the Number Ten saloon.
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose Jack?
The only mark you ever made
Was that cowardly attack,
Did old Wild Bill have
All the things you lack?
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose Jack?
Was it the game that you lost
To Bill the day before,
That sent you to the bar
To settle up the score?
Or did someone pay you
On that summer afternoon,
To bring your forty-five
To the Number Ten saloon.
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose Jack?
The only mark you ever made
Was that cowardly attack,
Did you feel like a man
Creeping up on his back?
How'd you sneak into history
Crooked Nose jack?
p.s. In case you are a member of a Bluegrass, Folk, or Western group (or know someone who is) and might be interested in co-writing, please let me know. This lyric has already been recorded and released, but I have a lot that haven't. dennisgoodwin1947@gmail.com
