The Jack
AC/DC · Bonfire [1998]
She was wheelin' and dealin', just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair, but I had to try
Her Deuce was wild, but my ace was high
But how was I to know that she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a full house
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Poker face was her name, poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game, if she knew she could get you
She played em fast, and she played em hard
She could close her eyes, and feel every card
But how was I to know that she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a royal flush, but I should have known
That all the cards were coming from the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealing out, I'd have dealt it back
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
It was a bad deal, she gave me the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
Can't you tel she got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack, and it hurts
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
The Jack
The Jack stands as a definitive example of AC/DC's signature hard rock sound, characterized by driving rhythms and Angus Young's blistering guitar work. Released on the 1997 compilation Bonfire, the track captures the band's energetic live performance style during their peak commercial years. While the song appears on a collection celebrating the group's extensive catalogue, it reflects the tight, blues-infused rock that defined their discography throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The recording showcases the classic interplay between the Young brothers, delivering the high-voltage power fans expect from the Australian legends. As part of a broader body of work that includes anthems like Back in Black and Highway to Hell, The Jack reinforces the band's enduring influence on rock music without relying on complex arrangements.
