Black Jack Lyrics

Too many miles still try'n to bridge the gap back home

Gotta 30 ton load that feels like she's fly'n

Two stops to Darwin and the mornings nearly over

Think I'll meet the old mate Black Jack

And drop another load

Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over

I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road

These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year

Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers

Well old Jack he never answered never heard my call at all

So I just kept on a rolling down that lonely country road

One mile of dust behind me and a spirit of my own

In a land that's god forsaken

Just a bloody dried up hole

As I pulled in to the station 60 miles on down the road

Saw a Mac with a broken axle and a damned heavy load

So I lent a hand and asked the man if he'd seen me old mate Jack

Said I've been call'n out for ages since I hit the old dust trap

Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over

I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road

These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year

Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers

When he looked at me in wonderment a shiver chilled my spine

As I looked the old truck over, the answer came to mind

Old Jack he'd done his load that day

And the wreck was towed away

Old Black Jack's days were over

And my haunting words that day

Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over

I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road

These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year

Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers

Black Jack do ya copy do ya copy Black Jack over

I'll meet you on the corner of the pub just down the road

These big wheels have been turning now for days seems like a year

Let's pull in to the station now and sink a few cold beers
