Lyrics: The Velvet Underground. Little Jack.

I was raised in better days, mostly by myself

No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help

Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street

A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet



Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Hey hey



Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild

Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child

Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black

Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back



Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say

Hey hey... get in!



Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild

Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child

Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black

Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back



Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Hey hey... oh!



Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say

Oh... Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away

Little Old Jack, you best stay back; was all I heard them say
