lirik lagu jeffrey lorne - stingy jack

[verse 1]
stumbling along the midnight road
full to the brim on favours owed
filthier than even my blackened soul
i happened upon my doom
the devil himself appeared on cobblestone
he said he had come to collect my loan
so i made a request that before i go
i have a final drink or two

[pre~chorus 1]
well my tongue was made of silver but my pockets carried none
the devil turned into a coin but he was undone
i placed him underneath my cross of crucifixion
tеn years of my soul was the price of freedom

[chorus]
thе devil came calling to collect but i never paid him back
yes, i’m a drunkard in my shame
but i live up to my name
and they call me stingy jack
(repeat 2x)

[verse 2]
ten years on, down that same road
the devil returned to claim my soul
but as he declared “jack, it’s time to go!”
i spotted an apple tree
i said to him, “sir! before i repay my debt!
it’s easier done on a stomach fed!
you see that apple hanging over top of my head?
would you climb and pick what’s out of my reach?”
[pre~chorus 2]
well my tongue was quick and nimble and my fingers were as well
i fashioned crucifixes from the branches as they fell
freedom was the prize when my soul he did sell
and with that i told him he would never drag me down to h~ll

[chorus]
the devil came calling to collect but i never paid him back
yes, i’m a drunkard in my shame
but i live up to my name
and they call me stingy jack
(repeat 2x)

[bridge]
and when i reached the pearly gates of heaven
st. peter took one look at me
he handed me a flame and an onion
and banished me to roam eternity

[chorus]
the devil came calling to collect but i never paid him back
yes, i’m a drunkard in my shame
but i live up to my name
and they call me stingy jack
(repeat 4x)
