Originally recorded on The Fragile (2012)

lyrics

Behind her back she’s Gentleman Jack
A Yorkshire lady of renown
Ever so fine, won’t toe the line
Speak her name, 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
The 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 o’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

Behind her back she’s Gentleman Jack
She’s Gentleman Jack behind their backs
