Now gather round and hear the song of good old Jack the Lad This slippery son ensnared by none, he never could be had Four times they tried to lock him up, four times he did escape His reputation flourished every time he got away, they named him Jailbreaker Jailbreaker First time he went up to the roof, then down onto the ground The sound of bars and timbers breaking woke the folk around Still clapped in irons, he went and joined the crowd Watching his own escape, he pointed to the clouds and shouted Jailbreaker Jailbreaker With lovely Lyon by his side, he soon escaped again But lovely Lady Lyon was a tricksy little friend She turned Jack in to Johnny Wild but had a change of heart She dressed Jack up in frocks and skirts, he surely looked the part, he was a Jailbreaker Jailbreaker Final time, he showed the gaolers just how it was done He slipped his bonds before their eyes, by golly, they were stunned They tightened up his cuffs and said we've got you, Jacky son He bowed his head and smiled a smile, he never would be done He broke his chains and crawled up through the chapel's holy floor And then he burst his way through six or seven mighty doors Just as if to spite them, he went back down to his hold To grab himself a blanket to protect him from the cold He was a cunning, quick and crafty, captivating little con A sneaky, sleazy sinner who'd confess he did no wrong Well connected, discontented when put under key and lock. He said I am the shepherd, and the gaolers are my flock, I am a Jailbreaker Jailbreaker Jailbreaker
