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?
