Easy Come, Easy Go Lyrics - What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World - Decemberists

Limber Jack, he landed on his back 

Was bedding on the netting when the rigging went slack 

Was a moonless night, the stars all lending light 

She's leering in the mirror when the rodent rode right 

Cause you never really know 

When the whistle's gonna blow 

You never really know 

Easy come and easy go 

He was a stand-up gent, but no one knew his bent 

And all the little bones that he hid in his vent 

She was the come-on queen, to along the scene 

He found her in the shower, she'd been gone for seven weeks

Easy come and easy go 

Limber Jack, his name is on the plaque 

His mother is another that will never get him back
