lyrics

VERSE
Jack and Jill could never climb the hill in the first place
And they never would say what the water was for
Well Jill never thought she’d ever see his face again
But then one day her Jack came back from the war
And knocked on her door

VERSE
Jill was happy with the life she had created
A lovesick girl can only hold out for a while
Since Jack was gone so long, she was sure he hadn’t made it
And she cried and cried for months before she began to smile

CHORUS?
Oh Jack, Jack, Jack. Don’t take this the wrong way, no.
Oh Jack, Jack, Jack. I just thought I was alone.

VERSE
The knock became a tumbling fall a few years later
As the marriage fell to burning pieces, igniting the two
Jill was as frightened by the whole situation as
Jack was shocked to find that Jill had found someone new
And they didn’t know what to do

BRIDGE
So in a last ditch effort to quell the flames
They fled up the hill and pled for rain
But the well was too high and too far away
And the rain they called for never came
With or without the pail, it’s all the same
They fell back down, alone again.

CHORUS
Oh Jack, Jack, Jack. Don’t take this the wrong way, no.
Oh Jack, Jack, Jack. I just thought I was alone.

Jack and Jill could never climb the hill in the first place
