Gets ragged and torn by the light
I'm sick and tired an d broke again
And the world looks better
Hiding from the conductor
I'd give my right arm for a good hot feed
But sometimes you get what you need
Bless me Father I have sinned
And you know I'd do it all again
And he got me here to work
He took me to the tailor's on wages day
And they fitted me out in this suit of diaper gray
Well on Saturday we'd hit the town
And we splashed that kind of
Jackie's temple fled again
And I wish I could have reigned him in
But wishin' doesn't change
There were two of us and six of them
the likes of which I wish to never see again
So bless me, Father, I have sinned
And you know I'd do it all again
And St. Peter don't let Jackie in
Then I swear to God I'll fear for him
And the foreman wouldn't keep me on
I spent all I had on Jackie's stone
And it's through this world
You may ask of me why is this so?
Well if you knew our mother
It would kill the dead to
So bless me Father, I have sinned
And you know I'd do it all again
And spend all I had on Jackie's stone
And it's through this world
Oh, bless me, Father, for I've sinned
Cause you know I'd do it all again
Spend all I had on Jackie Stone
And if through this world
Oh, never can I re turn home
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
