Jack sat in the corner of the old peoples home and muttered

I worked the mighty docks at Liverpool

Once

Foremen feared me

We’d be out the gate

For a sideways glance

And ships heavy with the world

Waited for my nod to be unloaded

This was my kingdom

And I was the King

I pissed proud where I stood

Once
