Gentleman Jack
Written by Belinda O’Hooley & Heidi Tidow
Behind her back she’s Gentleman Jack
A Yorkshire lady of renown
Ever so fine
Won’t toe the line
Speak her name the gentlemen frown
At Shibden Hall she had them all
The fairer sex fell under her spell
Dapper and bright
She held them tight
Handsome Anne seduced them well
Gentleman Jack
Oh Gentleman Jack
Watch your back you’re under attack
Their husbands are coming
You’d better start running
For nobody likes a Jack-the-lass
Jack-the-lass
Jack-the-lass
No-one likes a Jack-the-lass
The code is cracked
Your bags are packed
The knives are out for Gentleman Jack
Proud and stout
And full of clout
She played the fellas at their game
Sharp of mind
She’s one of a kind
Devilish ways the men couldn’t tame
Hidden away
Revealed today
Loaded words in diaries found
Wants exposed in a baffling code
Lusty letters all leather bound
I saw the sisters live, pre Covid, in a tiny chapel in Settle, North Yorks. Mesmerising, beautiful, no amplification and as raw as you get, a memorable gig. This record expands on their creativity and unique offering to the World of Folk. A beautiful album crossing several musical genres. JohnT42
