The Velvet Underground - Little Jack [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet

[Chorus 1]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Hey hey

[Chorus 2]
Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a Mrs and a child
Though my dear it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

[Chorus 1]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say
Hey hey... get in!

Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
Hey hey... oh!

[Outro][3x]
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white, was all I heard them say
