letra de jack of all trades - the chieftains

Loading...

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 dublin 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, dublin is of high renown
or i am much mistaken
in kevin street, i do declare
i sold b-tter, 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
