R.Kern - Jackaroe |
| [00:12.83][00:04.72] |
|
| [00:05.42] |
There was a wealthy merchant |
| [00:07.72] |
In London he did well |
| [00:10.97] |
He had a lovely daughter |
| [00:13.66] |
The truth to you I'll tell |
| [00:17.07] |
Oh, the truth to you I'll tell |
| [00:21.30] |
She had sweethearts aplenty and men of high degree |
| [00:27.15] |
There was none but Jack the sailor |
| [00:29.29] |
Her true love ever could be |
| [00:33.27] |
Oh, her true love ever could be |
| [00:39.74] |
Now Jackie's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind |
| [00:45.35] |
To leave his native country and his darling girl behind |
| [00:51.45] |
Oh, his darling girl behind |
| [00:59.05] |
She went into a tailor shop and dressed in men's array |
| [01:04.67] |
And stepped on board a vessel to convey herself away |
| [01:10.61] |
Oh, convey herself away |
| [01:15.17] |
"Before you step on board, sir. Your name I'd like to know" |
| [01:20.40] |
"She smiled all in her countenance, |
| [01:23.11] |
"They call me Jackaroe" |
| [01:26.29] |
"Oh, they call me Jackaroe |
| [01:32.75] |
"Your waist is light and slender, |
| [01:35.06] |
Your fingers are neat and small |
| [01:38.32] |
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannonball" |
| [01:44.21] |
"Oh, to face the cannonball |
| [01:48.57] |
"I know my waist is slender, my fingers neat and small |
| [01:53.65] |
But it would not make me tremble to see ten thousand fall" |
| [01:59.59] |
"Oh, to see ten thousand fall |
| [02:06.07] |
The war soon being over |
| [02:08.54] |
They hunted all around |
| [02:11.35] |
And among the dead and dying |
| [02:13.59] |
Her darling boy she found |
| [02:17.17] |
Oh, her darling boy she found |
| [02:21.52] |
She picked him up all in her arms |
| [02:23.24] |
.. . .And carried him to the town |
| [02:26.82] |
And sent for a physician who quickly healed his wounds |
| [02:32.65] |
Oh, who quickly healed his wounds |
| [02:36.91] |
This couple they got married |
| [02:38.97] |
So well they did agree |
| [02:42.30] |
This couple they got married |
| [02:44.49] |
So why not you and me ? |
| [02:47.96] |
Oh, so why not you and me ? |
