Jack Of All Trades - The Chieftains/Kevin Conneff

作曲：Traditional

I'm a roving jack

of many a trade

Of ev'ry trade

Of all trades

And if you wish

to know my name

They call me Jack

of All Trades

I'm a roving and a sporting blade

They call me Jack

of All Trades

I always take a great delight

In courting pretty fair maids

So when in Dubling I arrive

To look for a situation

You can always hear

them all say

He's the pride of

all the nation

On George's Quay

I first began

And there became a porter

But me and me master

soon fell out

Which cut our

acquaintance shorter

In Sackville Street

I was a pastry cook

In James' Street a baker

In Cook Street

I did coffins make

In Eustace Street a preacher

I'm a roving jack

of many a trade

Of ev'ry trade

Of all trades

And if you wish

to know my name

They call me Jack

of All Trades

In Baggot Street

I drove a cab

And there was

well respected

In Francis Street

I'd lodging beds

To entertain

all strangers

Now Dublintg

is of high renown

Or I am much mistaken

In Keving Street

I do declare

I sold butter

eggs and bacon

In Golden Lane

I sold old shoes

In Meath Street

was a grinder

In Barrack Street

I lost me wife

And I'm glad I ne'er did find her

In Mary's Lane

I dyed old clothes

Of which I've often boasted

And later in Exchequer Street

Sold mutton ready roasted

I'm a roving jack

of many a trade

Of ev'ry trade

Of all trades

And if you wish

to know my name

They call me Jack

of All Trades
