MY BROTHER JACK

My brother Jack is a funny young lad 
Always plays the joker and is never sad
Gets into scrapes and he's only aged eight 
As a brother and friend Jack is simply great 

My brother Jack is really growing up fast 
Those eight years he was never seemed to last
Jack is now eighteen and school is done 
No longer the joker more serious than fun 

My brother Jack still visits me when he can 
Very difficult for him now for he is a family man
At twenty eight he has two kiddies and a wife
Works so hard as he tries to get through life 

My brother Jack died suddenly one day 
Thirty eight years is no age to be taken away
Thirty years ago we didn't have a worry or care
Taken so soon Jack life certainly ain't fair
