Letra Black Sin Jack

Lyrics to 'Do It Again' by Steely Dan: In the morning you go gunning For the man who stole your water And you fire till he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singing. I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black. I see the girls walk by dressed In their summer clothes I have to turn my head Until my darkness goes. I want see your face Painted black Black as night Black as coal. Don't wanna see the Sun Flying high in the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted.

Perfection In Performance
 In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turinin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again
When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer, and you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one, and she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow, yeah
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turinin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey you must put them on the table
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turinin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

'The Wild Colonial Boy' is a traditional anonymous Irish-Australian ballad of which there are many different versions, the most prominent being the Irish and Australian versions. The original was about Jack Donahue, an Irish rebel who became a convict, then a bushranger,[1] and was eventually shot dead by police. This version was outlawed as seditious, so the name in the song was changed to Jack Doolan. The Irish version is about a Jack Duggan, young emigrant who left the town of Castlemaine, County Kerry, Ireland, for Australia in the early 19th century. According to the song, he spent his time 'robbing from the rich to feed the poor'. In the song, Duggan is fatally wounded in an ambush when he is shot in the heart by Fitzroy.

Irish lyrics[edit]The lyrics are as follows:
There was a wild colonial boy,Jack Duggan was his nameHe was born and raised in Ireland,in a place called CastlemaineHe was his father's only son,his mother's pride and joyAnd dearly did his parents lovethe wild colonial boyAt the early age of sixteen years,he left his native homeAnd to Australia's sunny shore,he was inclined to roamHe robbed the rich, he helped the poor,he shot James MacEvoyA terror to Australia wasthe wild colonial boyOne morning on the prairie,as Jack he rode alongA-listening to the mocking bird,a-singing a cheerful songUp stepped a band of troopers:Kelly, Davis and FitzroyThey all set out to capture him,the wild colonial boySurrender now, Jack Duggan,for you see we're three to one.Surrender in the Queen's high name,you are a plundering sonJack drew two pistols from his belt,he proudly waved them high.'I'll fight, but not surrender,'said the wild colonial boyTune for The Wild Colonial Boy

He fired a shot at Kelly,which brought him to the groundAnd turning round to Davis,he received a fatal woundA bullet pierced his proud young heart,from the pistol of FitzroyAnd that was how they captured him,the wild colonial boy
Australian lyrics[edit]The Australian version is quite different. Price of tecno android phones in slot. It is about a boy named Jack Dolan, born in Castlemaine. The poem then continues on to tell of his exploits without mentioning his moving to Australia, which implies that the Castlemaine in question is that in Victoria.
Here is one version of the 'Jack Dolan/Doolan/Duggan' poem:
Chorus:
Come along my hearties,We'll roam the mountains high,Together we will plunder,Together we will ride.We'll scour through the valleys,And gallop o'er the plains,And scorn to live inslavery, bound down by iron chains.It's of a wild Colonial Boy,Jack Dolan was his name,Of poor but honest parents,He was born in Castlemaine.He was his father's only son,His mother's pride and joy,And so dearly did his parents loveThe wild Colonial Boy.When scarcely sixteen years of age, He left his father's home,And through Australia's sunny shoresA bushranger did roam.He'd rob the largest squatters,Their stock he would destroy,A terror to Australia wasThe wild Colonial Boy.In sixty-one this daring youthCommenced his wild career,With a heart that knew no danger,No stranger did he fear.He bailed up the Beechworth roll mail-coach,And robbed Judge MacEvoy,Who trembled and gave up his gold toThe wild Colonial Boy.He bade the judge 'Good morning,'And told him to beware,That he'd never rob a poor manWho wafted on the square,Three mounted troopers came in sight,Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy,Who thought that they would capture him,The wild Colonial Boy.'Surrender now, Jack Dolan,You see we're three to one.Surrender in the queen's high name,You daring highwayman.'Jack drew a pistol from his belt,And waved it like a toy,'I'll fight, but not surrender,'Cried the wild Colonial Boy.He fired at Trooper Kelly,And brought him to the ground,And in return from Davis,He received a mortal wound.All shattered through the jaws he lay,Still firing at Fitzroy,And that's the way they captured him –The wild Colonial Boy.
