The Ballad of Brie & Jack

Met her down at Gluek’s one night
after Hookers ’n Blow
Horns were huge, she took refuge
in the arms of Jack Merlot
Jack Merlot

Betty was down from Ye Ol’ Wax Trax
All Edgar Allen Poe
Toby had a bone to pick with her
on account of Jack Merlot
Jack Merlot

Brie Charmont - Jack is calling you home
Brie Charmont - Jack is calling you home

Toby Alexander had a flight to catch
but didn’t make it home
lawyers all thought maybe he was dead
after meeting Jack Merlot
Jack Merlot

The spinster was trying to weave her web
all over my watering hole
she filled her fancy with chiba and bread
tryin’ for that Jack Merlot
Jack Merlot

Brie Charmont - Jack is calling you home
Brie Charmont - Jack is calling you home

Caught wind of the hounds on our heels
Right outside of Jackson Hole
After tasting her cold, dark steel
I just doesn’t wanna herd cattle no mo’
Jack Merlot

Brie Charmont had a dire affliction
From too many scurvy dogs
She went to the docs, and gave ’em the pox
oh, that Brie Charmont

Brie Charmont got swollen ankles
from too many salty balls
She went to the docks, and bought some new socks
oh, that Brie Charmont
