It was love at first sight for young Jack
in his shirt sky-blue and his hat so black

He fell hard as a rock,

the right key found his lock

I'll go with the first...


It was love at first sight for young Jack
in his shirt sky-blue and his hat so black.
He fell hard as a rock,
the right key found his lock..
there were no words, no turning back.

As Jack lay dying by the roadside

As Jack lay dying by the roadside
No one to stem the flowing blood tide
Jack's love Ennis didn't know


For how long? As long as we can ride it; ain't no reins on this one.

No one to stem the flowing blood tide
Jack's love Ennis didn't know
Their old passions would never glow

possible line?

as day became night at eventide

Jack watched him drive away that day
His spirit broken, he gazed away.

His spirit broken, he gazed away.
"Let be," he thought with a sigh. "Let be."
