Jack & Jill Daniel's Songtext
Jill was a diamond in a chunk of coal town
Prettiest girl in any holler around
Took a shine to Jack, Jack gave her a ring
And for a little while they had a really good thing
Jill was hard to handle, that's a known fact
But 'til you hear the whole story, you don't know Jack
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Prettiest girl in any holler around
Took a shine to Jack, Jack gave her a ring
And for a little while they had a really good thing
Jill was hard to handle, that's a known fact
But 'til you hear the whole story, you don't know Jack
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack there's a Jill Daniels
Nobody knows for sure, but the old timers say
Jill left with a man on a midnight train
Jack knew all along he couldn't hold that girl
But what he did next changed the whole world
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack there's a Jill Daniels
She put the fire in his heart, he put the burn in the bottle
Now you know the story, Lord, it should have been a novel
Sometimes a broken heart can be a curseand a blessing
So, raise a toast to Jill for that Old No. 7
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes Behind every shot of Jack there's a Jill Daniels
Ooooh
Nobody knows for sure, but the old timers say
Jill left with a man on a midnight train
Jack knew all along he couldn't hold that girl
But what he did next changed the whole world
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack there's a Jill Daniels
She put the fire in his heart, he put the burn in the bottle
Now you know the story, Lord, it should have been a novel
Sometimes a broken heart can be a curseand a blessing
So, raise a toast to Jill for that Old No. 7
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes Behind every shot of Jack there's a Jill Daniels
Ooooh
