A creative project of mine. I wanted to re write a classic nursery rhyme and give it my own spin!
lyrics
Jack and jill went up a hill to fetch a pale of water
little did jill know about the ring kind jack had bought her
And like the hill excitement builds in jacks ol jolly heart
For he loved her more than he knew before, thier marriage fell apart
Jack and jill built on the hill a house of style n splendor
Jack employed designing toys to spray the boys with water
Jill would stay, inside all day, but for her man so proud,
For everyday the bills are paid, she often boasted loud.
Jack and jill lived on that hill for 20 years of laughter
But when jill found jack sleeps around
He never went for water
So now poor jack, lives in a flat, n drinks enough for two
And poor ol jill lives on that hill where all their love had grew.
Chorus:
Jack and jill went up a hill to fetch a pale of water,
little did jill know about the ring kind jack had bought her,
And like the hill excitement builds in jacks ol jolly heart
For he loved her more than he knew before thier marriage fell apart
Jack and jill over the hill found out about thier daughter
To jills surprise, and jacks wide eyes a gift that god had brought her
Her bellys big, cookin a kid,
She hopes she'll have his eyes.
It still stings she sits and thinks of jack and all his lies.
But loves a bond thats never gone so jack is back to stay.
and Tuesday night jill went to light the candles on his cake
To jacks suprise , and jills demise
A gift the devil brung
Little hilly jilly died of cancer in her lung
Jack still will visit the hill where her burried his wife
n' Little did he know that she would go that tuesday night
So now poor jack, lives in a flat, and he put down the cup
his little girl is his whole world, he watches her grow up
Looks in her eyes tries not to cry, cause shes just like her mom
And jack regrets the love he kept, now that jill is gone.
Jack and jill had climbed that hill not knowing what theyd find, like
A friend husband and lover, more like partners for a life.
Matter of fact, you can ask jack about that darkened day
When he fell down, broke marriage vows, and now his conscience pays
He finds it hard to disregard the shards of disappointment
reminded by her eyes, the curse of cancer has no ointment.
Tuesdays at eight jack Goes to see
His wife hoping shell rise,
The thing jack lacks is just the chance to try and make it right.
Two weeks had passed and so did jack, died of a broken heart
He loved her more than he knew before, their marriage fell apart.
Chorus:
Jack and jill went up a hill to fetch a pale of water,
Jill fell down and broke her crown and jack came tumbling after
And like the hill jack now is still, cause life will break your heart
For he loved her more than he knew before their marriage fell apart.
