My Friend Jack

My Friend Jack

I got a friend and his name is Jack
Lives in a bottle and the label’s black
My own Aladdin, we’re a hell of a team
Seems to help me with all my dreams

My Friend Jack, he’s a hell of a friend
My Friend Jack, stay with me ‘til the end
My Friend Jack, he’s always by my side
My Friend Jack, best thing I’ve ever tried

Now I met ‘ole Jack in Lynchburg, Tennessee
A fickle-hearted woman got the best of me
Dejected, broken-hearted, lonesome and blue,
But good ‘ole Jack, he helped to pull me through

My Friend Jack, he’s a hell of a friend
My Friend Jack, stay with me ‘til the end
My Friend Jack, he’s always by my side
My Friend Jack, best thing I’ve ever tried

Solo

Now to this day he’s always by my side
Twenty-six ounces of courage and pride
Don’t have no worries ‘cept for maybe one
To wake up one mornin’, find that Jack is gone

My Friend Jack, he’s a hell of a friend
My Friend Jack, stay with me ‘til the end
My Friend Jack, he’s always by my side
My Friend Jack, best thing I’ve ever tried

My Friend Jack, he’s a hell of a friend
My Friend Jack, stay with me ‘til the end
My Friend Jack, he’s always by my side
My Friend Jack, best thing I’ve ever tried

‘Ole number seven, take me to heaven
