There was a jagged man, and he walked a jagged mile.
He found a jagged sixpence behind a jagged stile.
He bought a jagged cat that caught a jagged mouse.
They all lived together in a little jagged house.

Jagged Sixpence Blues
Walking by the side of the jagged highway
walking down the road a jagged mile
rest my load by the jagged crossroads
lay my burden down a jagged while.
Scratching out a tune on my jagged cello
swimming in an ocean of jagged blue
let the words ring out to a jagged anthem
promising to love only jagged you.
ch.
Jagged, bristly, never smooth
talk me off the ledge.
Jagged, angry, always uncouth
jagged, off the edge.
Jack and Jill took a jagged hike
they ran and ran up the jagged hill
ran to the well for some jagged water
but Jack tripped up and took a jagged spill.
Tell me now -- I'll pay you a jagged nickel
to hear about Lot and his jagged wife
pillar of clay, oh, a jagged column
of salty remorse, oh, bitter strife.
ch.

and he made his way back to his jagged little shack.

set my jagged burden down a while.
Scratching out a tune on my jagged cello
drowning in an ocean of jagged blue
let the words ring out to a jagged anthem
swear to love nobody but jagged you.

Jagged, broken, never smooth
G A
talk me off the ledge.
G A
Quick to anger, always uncouth
G D
drag it off the edge.
Listen now I'll tell you a jagged story
all about a jagged fish that got away
all about a certain longing for jagged glory,
at the jagged close of the day.

Jack and Jill were jagged lovers
They went for a walk up the jagged hill
Well Jack fell down and broke his jagged crown,
Or maybe those two would be up there still
Jack gave Jill a jagged nickel
Jack gave Jill a jagged kiss
Jill gave Jack a jagged tickle
And showed him how to walk like this
aw, drag it off the goddamn jagged edge!
