Skirmish theme was a card. I remembered playing poker with one eyed jacks wild. I hope he's okay out there.
lyrics
One Eyed Jack
Words & Music by JW Hanberry
No one knows where he come from
Just drifted in one day
Couldn't tell if he was on the run
Or if he'd come to stay
With a leather patch across one eye
A bag to hold his clothes
Look away, pass him by
And wonder where his story goes.
Ch
He's such a mystery One Eyed Jack
Never did say where he's been
Or if he's ever goin' back
I bet he's got a story
'bout days of former glory
Before he switched the track
One Eyed Jack
He hung out on a park bench
Talkin' to the birds
Took a sip his thirst to quench
And loosen up his words.
Wandered by the feed store
To catch the local talk
When he didn't need no more
He's gone around the block.
[ch]
He's such a mystery One Eyed Jack
Never did say where he's been
Or if he's ever goin' back
I bet he's got a story
'bout days of former glory
Before he switched the track
One Eyed Jack
gtr 1/2 ch
One day they looked around
Didn't see him anywhere
Just the empty pint they found
On the ground in the old town square
The folks were left to ponder
Did he meet his end
Or was it time to wander
And hit the road again
He's just a memory One Eyed Jack
Can't imagin where he's been
Wonder if he's headed' back
I'd wager that he understands
The slickest way to play his hand
And keep the game on track
One Eyed Jack
