Emily Ann Roberts Jack & Jill Daniel's Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jill was a diamond in a chunk-of-coal town
Prettiest girl in any holler around
Took a shine to Jack, Jack gave her a ring
And for a little while, they had a really good thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Jill was hard to handle
That's a known fact
But 'til you hear the whole story
You don't know Jack
[Chorus]
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniel, oh

[Verse 2]
Nobody knows for sure, but the old-timers say
Jill left with a man on the midnight train
Jack knew all along he couldn't hold that girl
But what he did next changed the whole world [Chorus]
Jack went up thе hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbrеak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniel

[Verse 3]
She put the fire in his heart, he put the burn in the bottle
Now you know the story, Lord, it should've been a novel
Sometimes a broken heart can be a curse and a blessin'
So raise a toast to Jill for that Old No. 7

[Chorus]
Jack went up the hill to build a still of whiskey
And drink away the hurt of his heartbreak history
Ain't no mystery, that's the way it goes
Behind every shot of Jack, there's a Jill Daniel, ooh
