Peg Leg Jack Lyrics

Peg Leg Jack went out one night to get a little gin
He went up to the landlord's house, the landlord wasn't
in
He rapped and rapped and rapped and rapped, he rapped
all night in vain
When all of a sudden came (knock, knock, knock) upon
the window pane
Up to the window, he turned his head and a maiden he
did spy
And he thought by the way she turned her head, that she
would be his bride
'Come down, come down,' said Peg Leg Jack 'and sit on
the porch with me'
There down she came and sat on the porch as pretty as
ever you'd see
But all of a sudden, here came her father, driving the
village hack

With a roar, a bellow a hey young fellow, he started
for Peg Leg Jack Jack went off with a yip and a shout, for life to him
was sweet
And Jack's peg leg went (knock, knock, knock) down the
village street
The old mule cried, the fat lady screamed, the
constable let out a yell
He grabbed the old man by the collar and locked him in
the cell
Peg Leg Jack, he hurried back, the maiden for to wed
But found that she had gone and married a soldier boy
instead
Poor Jack he cried and then he bellowed and then began
to roar
He jumped on a ship with his (knock, knock, knock) and
sailed away from shore
He sailed away, so far away, he sailed as fast as sin
And Peg Leg Jack and his (knock, knock, knock) were
never seen again
